Traxxas at NHRA Winternationals
We’ve reported on the Traxxas – Courtney Force sponsorship for several weeks now, and at last weekend’s NHRA Winternationals Courtney laid down some blistering runs in the Top Fuel funny car class.
Not surprisingly, Traxxas has a massive pit-area spread that includes an 18-wheeler with their products on display, a large display booth with all of their vehicles available for people to see and touch, and two Try-Me tracks. Everywhere I looked today, I found Traxxas decals on all of the official NHRA posters and billboards. They even got Traxxas onto the Jumbotron replay screen (see below). The Traxxas presence at such an enormous event can only mean great things for the RC market, with new kids and adults discovering just how cool RC really is.
Here are a few photos from today’s events.
