It's Time Again for the Klein RC Motorsports Winter Nationals
Thanks Dennis and Carol! Last year that was all I could say over the first Winter National sponsored by Klien RC MotorSports. I had a ton of fun, not only racing in the electric classes, but also watching the other races. There was absolutely some good racing. This year Dennis has got a few special treats up his sleeve in addition to racing in the following classes.
