Wolfram RC Raceway, February 6, 2026 – Who says you need a checkered flag to feel the rush of victory? Yesterday’s practice session at Wolfram RC Raceway proved that sometimes the real wins happen off the podium, as a fired-up crew of RC enthusiasts turned a casual “test and tune” into a lap-smashing, setup-tweaking extravaganza. No club race? No problem! With over 3,045 laps logged across various classes, drivers dialed in their rigs, shaved seconds off their times, and left the track buzzing with that sweet scent of improvement – and maybe a hint of burnt rubber.
Picture this: It’s Thursday afternoon, February 5, and the pits are alive with the whir of mini motors and the chatter of strategy sessions. Without the pressure of official heats or elimination rounds, racers like Dylan Veik, Jake Tuel, and David dove headfirst into experimentation. Veik, the undisputed lap king, blasted through the 3500 Gt (Lipo) class with a blistering 6.276-second scorcher – the day’s fastest overall – proving that practice laps can pack as much punch as race-day heroics.
But it wasn’t just about raw speed; it was about evolution on four tiny wheels. In the Lipo Stock (2500) class, Junior racked up a whopping 160 laps across two sessions, honing his average down to 8.710 seconds. Meanwhile, Aaron Coe and Jason Euchner pushed their limits, with Coe nailing a 6.674-second personal best.
Jake Tuel was everywhere, zipping through classes. From a class-leading 7.137 seconds in AAA Sportsman to a a solid run in 2500 Lipo Stock at 6.779 seconds, Tuel’s day screamed progress. His consistent sub-7 second laps in 3500 Gt? Chef’s kiss in progress.
The Box Stock Mini-Z class stole the show for sheer endurance, with Zach Fauble logging 233 laps over nine sessions – that’s over 43 minutes of non-stop tweaking! David, the session marathon man, crushed it across AAA Sportsman and Mini-Z, amassing 37:21 of track time and a best average of 8.265 seconds.
What made this non-race day so special? Community vibes, baby! Without the cutthroat competition, drivers shared tips, swapped batteries, and celebrated each other’s breakthroughs. Total track time clocked in at 9 hours, 18 minutes, and 54 seconds – that’s a full workday’s worth of wheel-to-wheel wisdom.
In the end, Wolfram RC Raceway’s test and tune wasn’t just practice; it was a preview of podiums to come. Drivers walked away faster, smarter, and more synced with their scaled-down speed machines. So, next time someone skips race day, remember: Improvement doesn’t need an audience – just ambition, a charged LiPo, and a track ready for triumph. Stay tuned for the next club event; these tuned-up titans are geared up to dominate!
