Dale only started racing in 1998 but has become the man to beat at
whatever track he goes to. The winner of the first manuela touring
challenge and current Futaba cup open Touring Chanp, Dale has become
a true R/C racer. It is not surprizing to see Dale flying around the
track and for those trying to find some speed check out his lines
for they are usually the fastest way around the track. I saw Dale
when he first started racing and his improvement has been amazing.
He is proof that skill is not the only thing you need to win, it takes
practice, dedication and knowing how to get the most out of your equipment.
Dale isn't a loud racer as compared to some of the other guys and
gals out there but if he is ever behind you in a race, it's for sure
that he won't stay back ther for long. We got Dale on the phone and
got some of his speed secrets so check it out.
