Blog Intro: Chris Raceles

Hello everyone. My name is Chris Raceles and I am very psyched to be a blogger on Pro-Line’s new web site! I’ve been an RC enthusiast and racer for a very long time now and have been a Pro-Line sponsored driver since the early 90’s (Wow I just felt kinda old! I can remember it like yesterday when Associated released the “Stealth” transmission for the RC10 – OG son!). Some of you old school Southern California racers may remember me from the RCH days in Costa Mesa. Back then I ran for Associated, Reedy, Airtronics, Pro-Line and RCPS (Cliff Lett was way ahead of his time with the RCPS body for the RC10) and raced three times a week on a regular basis with guys like Mark Pavidis, Brian Kinwald, Cliff Lett, Steve Chamberlain, etc.. Jumping forward to current, I am completely psyched on nitro off-road racing! It’s like moto without actually riding (I am also an avid BMX & Motocross enthusiast).

I am very excited for the 2008 racing season and look forward to seeing y’all at the track. I am planning on doing the Southern California Saturday Series, the JBRL series, the Buggy Nats at Thunder Alley and as many other races as I can hit – work permitting (gotta make those green backs!)

Anyway, thanks for reading my blog introduction and remember to check back every week for updates and new happenings, etc. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my 2008 sponsors – Pro-Line, Mugen Seiki, Ninja engines and Ogio. THANKS!!!!!

Chris Raceles
