Our next Racer Recap is from a newcomer to the sport that proved consistency is key earning a spot on the podium in the 2.2 class: Taylor Underhill.
Name: Taylor Underhill
Truck: Freedom
What got you into racing RC monster trucks?
“It’s a racing series I’ve never explored before and it looked like a lot of fun!”
What was your biggest accomplishment?
“Making it on the podium in the point series! It is a big milestone in my racing career because it was my first RC racing event/series win!”
Looking back on this season, what do you plan to do to improve for next year?
“Better quality trucks, keeping my calm while racing veteran drivers, and more fine tuning.”
Who is your toughest competition?
“That would have to be Chris Prestwood and Torey Heath. Both are experienced drivers in the RC world and definitely made it tough.”
What are your thoughts on the Points Series?
“The point series worked out well! Each track gave a different driver/truck advantage and kept it in the hands of drivers rather than the dollar amount in the trucks”
