Married to RC – An LCRC Podcast

After every event, Christa and Kevin sit down to go over the event, look for places to improve, and share parts of the event that they may have not yet had the chance to discuss. This time, we recorded that post race debrief, and we are sharing it with you.

Hey guys and welcome to Married to RC. We are excited to be back from hiatus with our new Hump Day Happy Hour Series. During our race season, we connect with our community by going live on Facebook each week on Wednesday evening on facebook and youtube. During these lives, we will answer questions, talk about new products that have hit the hobby shop, sometimes just share tid bit about our lives.
As we have entered into our race season, we will be including the Hump Day Happy Hour audio recordings here. We already have a large community that listens to these videos after the fact, and this should make it a little easier for them to listen in.
We are excited to come back with more great content once our season is up and going, but for now, enjoy this week's Hump Day Happy Hour with Christa and Kevin.

The Dirt Oval Revival: LCRC’s 2026 Friday Night Series + The Dream
In this episode of Married to RC, Christa and Kevin share their plans for Oval Racing at LCRC in 2026 — and why they’re so excited about bringing this program to the track.
The goal? Fun racing that is FUN to watch!
We break down the brand new Friday Night Oval Series, a four-race program designed to be relaxed, welcoming, and a great way for racers to race with only fun in mind... while any spectator can enjoy watching.
Then we talk about the big one…
The Dream.
Coming in July, The Dream will be LCRC’s premier Oval event — a race built around the excitement that makes dirt oval racing so special.
Whether you're an experienced oval racer or someone curious about trying it for the first time, this episode explains what we're building and why we think it’s going to be something really special for the RC community.
In this episode we cover:
🏁 The vision behind the LCRC Oval program 🏁 Why Friday night racing is all about fun 🏁 How the 4-race Friday Night Series will work 🏁 What makes The Dream such a special event 🏁 Why oval racing is one of the most exciting formats in RC

If you love your local RC track… this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to keep a local RC facility alive and thriving. Tracks aren’t run by corporations — they’re run by families. By racers. By people who care deeply about this hobby and the community around it.
And the truth is, the smallest actions from racers can make the biggest difference.
We’re breaking down 5 simple ways you can support your local RC track — most of which cost you absolutely nothing:
• Why paying with cash or check matters more than you think• How one comment on social media can change everything• The power of saying something positive online• Why bringing a friend (or being a friend) grows the culture• And how supporting the hobby shop keeps the doors open
This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness.
Because if your local track disappeared tomorrow… would you wish you had shown up differently?
If RC racing has given you friendships, memories, and weekends you’ll never forget — this episode is your reminder that community goes both ways.
Support the track that supports your weekends.

Christa may be under the weather, but nothing could stop us from releasing the exciting news: LCRCRaceway.com is ALL New!

In today’s episode of Married to RC, I am incredibly excited to welcome a very special guest and dear friend—Allison Ruona of JConcepts.
Known to many as Mrs. JConcepts, Allison works behind the scenes at arguably the most successful RC tire company of our time. You might say she’s the tire glue that holds it all together… (yes, we went there 😄). But beyond the jokes, Allison is an absolute force—inside the RC industry and far beyond it.
In this conversation, we dive into what it’s really like being Married to RC, supporting and growing a powerhouse brand, and finding balance while wearing so many hats. Allison shares her journey as a businesswoman, a fitness enthusiast, a proud dog mom to her sweet Yorkie, Jazzy, and a cancer survivor whose strength and perspective are nothing short of inspiring.
This episode goes deeper than racing and tires—it’s about resilience, partnership, friendship, and showing up fully in every season of life. Whether you know Allison from the pits, the industry, or are hearing her story for the first time, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of Married to RC, Christa and Kevin sit down for a little behind-the-scenes catch-up after Kevin’s recent race at The Factory with our friends from Slow is Fast RC Podcast.
They talk cold weather struggles, race takeaways, and what it’s like building your summer business when your fingers can barely feel the transmitter. From there, the conversation turns to some very big, very secret plans brewing for 2026 (no spoilers… yet 👀).
They also chat about Super Bowl plans, balancing work and life during the off-season, and why the social media algorithm has Christa want to be planted. 🌱
It’s a laid-back, real-life conversation about racing, business, big dreams, and the everyday moments in between.

In this special Girl Talk episode of Married to RC, Christa sits down with Alicia Fletcher from G3RC Raceway in North Carolina for a real, honest conversation about friendship, business, and what it’s really like running race events behind the scenes.
After recently having Alicia and her husband Gary on the podcast, Christa and Alicia quickly formed a friendship — sharing advice, encouragement, and plenty of “we’re in this together” moments that come with building businesses in the RC world. This conversation is filled with gratitude, motivation, and the kind of support that reminds you why community matters so much in this hobby.
They talk about what race weekends look like from the inside, the challenges of starting and growing a hobby shop, and the lessons learned while balancing family, marriage, and business. Christa also opens up about the very real struggles — and yes, the arguments — that she and Kevin faced when launching LCRC’s online store, and how working through those moments helped strengthen both their business and their relationship.
While this episode isn’t just for the ladies, there’s something powerful about hearing women in RC share their experiences, lift each other up, and talk honestly about the work it takes to keep leveling up. Whether you’re running a track, thinking about opening a shop, or just love the people behind the scenes of race day, this episode is full of insight, encouragement, and real talk.
🎧 Tune in and join us for a heartfelt Girl Talk with Alicia Fletcher — and a behind-the-scenes look at life Married to RC.

In a hobby driven by trends, hype, and the “next new thing,” Christa and Kevin share an unpopular opinion: brand loyalty still matters. In this episode of Married to RC, they break down why committing to brands like Mugen, JConcepts, Factory Xtreme, and Custom Works has shaped LCRC Raceway—not just in business, but in community, customer service, and trust. This isn’t about exclusivity—it’s about relationships, consistency, and showing up for each other.

Christa and Kevin interview Alicia and Gary Fletcher of G3RC Raceway in North Carolina about growing an RC business at a different stage. A must-listen for RC track owners and racers ready to consider growth, long-term planning, and what comes next.
