Todd Putnam was regarded as a legend within the RC racing community, and this event honors his impact on the sport.
Racing Experience and Competition
Steve Pemberton of Pemberton Raceworks explained the complexity of the competition:
"This has got everything in it that a Nascar-type competition would have. There's different tires, there's different gears, different motors. There's different shocks and suspensions. Other than being in the car, this has all the elements of full scale racing, to the point where a lot of the Nascar guys and or their crew chiefs, participate in this during their off time."
This makes the Todd Putnam Memorial Classic an exciting event for fans who aspire to the thrill of professional racing, offering a hands-on experience with sophisticated RC cars.
