Back to another long post...
🔥 SOMETIMES THE BIGGEST WINS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH FINISHING FIRST. 🏁❤️
I’m going to share something from the heart today.
The last two weeks have been interesting, challenging, and, if I’m being completely transparent, pretty discouraging. There have been moments that made me question a lot of things. Moments where I’ve had to remind myself why I started this journey in the first place.
But one thing about me… I KEEP PUSHING.
Today was one of those days when God reminded me that my purpose in this hobby is bigger than racing, bigger than building cars, and definitely bigger than making money.
I had some parts sitting around and an opportunity to put together a Traxxas Slash for a young man named Abraham. To some people, it’s just another RC truck.
To Abraham, it was EVERYTHING. ❤️
Watching his excitement when I handed him that truck was something I can’t put a price on.
Later, his father sent me a message that stopped me in my tracks. Abraham had already shown his new truck to three neighborhood kids. He was telling them about finishing second in his last race and how his new truck was going to help him chase that first-place finish.
Man… THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT! 🙌🏽
I remember being that kid. The one who wanted to race, wanted to learn, and had a million questions. The kid who just needed someone to take a little time and believe in him.
Today, I got to be that person for somebody else.
And the beautiful thing is, while I was helping Abraham, the RC community was helping me without even realizing it.
Today refreshed my spirit. It reminded me that even when things aren’t going the way we planned, we’re still capable of making a difference in somebody else’s life.
I didn’t get to make the event at Stillwater today, and I genuinely hated missing it. Brett Allen, I’m definitely down to be at the next one! 💪🏽🏁
But if missing an event meant being there to see that smile on Abraham’s face, I’d make that trade again.
And shoutout to DustBucket RC, who was out there getting some nice shots with his Mini Me right by his side! 📸🔥 That’s another beautiful part of this hobby—families creating memories together, one lap at a time.
THIS IS WHY WE’RE BUILDING THE DUSTY OUTLAW RC & TRAIL PARK.
Not just to have another place to race.
Not just to build the biggest or fastest track.
Not just to see who has the most expensive equipment or who can turn the fastest lap.
WE’RE BUILDING A COMMUNITY FIRST.
A place where a father can bond with his son.
Where a kid with a basic RC truck feels just as welcome as the guy with a $2,000 race setup.
Where experienced drivers help beginners instead of looking down on them.
Where friendships are made, families are welcomed, knowledge is shared, and the next generation gets an opportunity to fall in love with something that has meant so much to so many of us.
Because the future of RC doesn’t start with sponsorships, expensive equipment, or trophies.
IT STARTS WITH PEOPLE WHO CARE ENOUGH TO GIVE BACK.
I’ve had some difficult days lately. I’m sure there will be more ahead. But today reminded me that progress isn’t always measured in dollars, race results, or how quickly a dream becomes reality.
Sometimes progress is a little boy running home to show his friends his new RC truck.
Sometimes the victory isn’t yours to celebrate.
Sometimes the greatest victory is helping somebody else believe they can win. 🏆
To everyone who continues to support what we’re trying to build, thank you. We’re going to keep pushing, keep building, and keep putting people first.
And Abraham, little man, I can’t wait to see you chase that first-place trophy! 🏁
BE THE CHANGE… BE AN OUTLAW. 💪🏽🔥
