Supporting local tracks and the radio control racing community is integral to growing this great hobby and one of the reasons we at Hitec started the Hitec Trophy Chase Racing Series. Years back while racing with friends and colleagues, the question was raised, “What happened to the good old days of club racing?” Everyone missed it – the camaraderie, the friendly competition and best of all, an excuse to get out there and drive! And so was born the Hitec Off-Road Trophy Chase! Our location was and continues to be the Heritage RC Park, located in Chula Vista, CA which combines local convenience with exceptionally maintained facilities. The series consists of 6 races in which local racers battle over the coveted title of Trophy Chase Champion! To ensure there is something for everyone, 9 classes of racing are available from 1/5th-scale down to 1/10th-scale short course. When the dust settles from all the 6 races, the top 3 in each class are bestowed trophies and local street cred honors! This year’s series was a great success with the following top winners:

1/5th Scale 2WD Winners (L to R): 2nd – Dennis Christy, 1st – Kyle Christy, 3rd – Jim Cooper
