Show #348 – Racing Jason & His Awesome Backyard RC Track

In this episode of the No Name RC Podcast, Lefty sits down with Racing Jason — the creator behind one of the most talked-about backyard RC tracks in the world.

Jason shares his journey from growing up around off-road racing to competing in full-scale sprint cars, and how that passion led him into RC and building a unique track layout deep in the Pacific Northwest.

We dive into:
• The evolution of his backyard RC track and design ideas
• His background in full-scale racing and transition into RC
• His role as a driver instructor at DirtFish Rally School
• The current state of RC racing formats and why change is needed
• Ideas for shorter race days and more engaging racing
• Hosting backyard races and experimenting with new formats
• Advice for anyone looking to build their own RC track

This is a great conversation about creativity in RC, growing the hobby, and thinking differently about how we race.
