Inaugural BKlassic Race – Report

Hobby Action Raceway of Chandler, Arizona held the inaugural BK Race this past weekend. Brian Kinwald was a special individual. He lived and breathed RC and at a young age, showed the world that he was not like any other racer on this planet by winning the IFMAR World Championships in Basildon, England, in 1993.

With two WC titles and a ton of National titles under his belt, Brian is undoubtedly considered one of the best to hold a radio.
