Explore every episode of the podcast Married to RC – An LCRC Podcast

If you love your local RC track… this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to keep a local RC facility alive and thriving. Tracks aren’t run by corporations — they’re run by families. By racers. By people who care deeply about this hobby and the community around it.

And the truth is, the smallest actions from racers can make the biggest difference.

We’re breaking down 5 simple ways you can support your local RC track — most of which cost you absolutely nothing:

• Why paying with cash or check matters more than you think • How one comment on social media can change everything • The power of saying something positive online • Why bringing a friend (or being a friend) grows the culture • And how supporting the hobby shop keeps the doors open

This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness.

Because if your local track disappeared tomorrow… would you wish you had shown up differently?

If RC racing has given you friendships, memories, and weekends you’ll never forget — this episode is your reminder that community goes both ways.

Support the track that supports your weekends.

Christa may be under the weather, but nothing could stop us from releasing the exciting news: LCRCRaceway.com is ALL New!

In today’s episode of Married to RC, I am incredibly excited to welcome a very special guest and dear friend—Allison Ruona of JConcepts.

Known to many as Mrs. JConcepts, Allison works behind the scenes at arguably the most successful RC tire company of our time. You might say she’s the tire glue that holds it all together… (yes, we went there 😄). But beyond the jokes, Allison is an absolute force—inside the RC industry and far beyond it.

In this conversation, we dive into what it’s really like being Married to RC, supporting and growing a powerhouse brand, and finding balance while wearing so many hats. Allison shares her journey as a businesswoman, a fitness enthusiast, a proud dog mom to her sweet Yorkie, Jazzy, and a cancer survivor whose strength and perspective are nothing short of inspiring.

This episode goes deeper than racing and tires—it’s about resilience, partnership, friendship, and showing up fully in every season of life. Whether you know Allison from the pits, the industry, or are hearing her story for the first time, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this episode of Married to RC, Christa and Kevin sit down for a little behind-the-scenes catch-up after Kevin’s recent race at The Factory with our friends from Slow is Fast RC Podcast.

They talk cold weather struggles, race takeaways, and what it’s like building your summer business when your fingers can barely feel the transmitter. From there, the conversation turns to some very big, very secret plans brewing for 2026 (no spoilers… yet 👀).

They also chat about Super Bowl plans, balancing work and life during the off-season, and why the social media algorithm has Christa want to be planted. 🌱

It’s a laid-back, real-life conversation about racing, business, big dreams, and the everyday moments in between.

In this special Girl Talk episode of Married to RC, Christa sits down with Alicia Fletcher from G3RC Raceway in North Carolina for a real, honest conversation about friendship, business, and what it’s really like running race events behind the scenes.

After recently having Alicia and her husband Gary on the podcast, Christa and Alicia quickly formed a friendship — sharing advice, encouragement, and plenty of “we’re in this together” moments that come with building businesses in the RC world. This conversation is filled with gratitude, motivation, and the kind of support that reminds you why community matters so much in this hobby.

They talk about what race weekends look like from the inside, the challenges of starting and growing a hobby shop, and the lessons learned while balancing family, marriage, and business. Christa also opens up about the very real struggles — and yes, the arguments — that she and Kevin faced when launching LCRC’s online store, and how working through those moments helped strengthen both their business and their relationship.

While this episode isn’t just for the ladies, there’s something powerful about hearing women in RC share their experiences, lift each other up, and talk honestly about the work it takes to keep leveling up. Whether you’re running a track, thinking about opening a shop, or just love the people behind the scenes of race day, this episode is full of insight, encouragement, and real talk.

🎧 Tune in and join us for a heartfelt Girl Talk with Alicia Fletcher — and a behind-the-scenes look at life Married to RC.

In a hobby driven by trends, hype, and the “next new thing,” Christa and Kevin share an unpopular opinion: brand loyalty still matters. In this episode of Married to RC, they break down why committing to brands like Mugen, JConcepts, Factory Xtreme, and Custom Works has shaped LCRC Raceway—not just in business, but in community, customer service, and trust. This isn’t about exclusivity—it’s about relationships, consistency, and showing up for each other.

Christa and Kevin interview Alicia and Gary Fletcher of G3RC Raceway in North Carolina about growing an RC business at a different stage. A must-listen for RC track owners and racers ready to consider growth, long-term planning, and what comes next.

What if the thing that truly sets your business apart has nothing to do with what you sell—and everything to do with how you make people feel?

In this episode of Married to RC, Christa and Kevin Mummah share the mindset that quietly transformed LCRC Raceway and reshaped the way they think about hospitality, customer service, and community. They call it “Meet Them With a Drink.” And no—it’s not about the drink.

It’s about setting the tone the moment someone arrives. Making people feel comfortable before they ask for help. Treating racers not just as customers, but as guests.

From pit parties and wash stations to concierge trash service, golf cart rides, and fixing cars whenever possible, Christa and Kevin break down the small, intentional acts that create unforgettable experiences—and why those moments matter more than any trophy.

They also talk honestly about how hard it can be to keep this mindset when you’re exhausted, dealing with negativity, or navigating tough days—and why hospitality matters most in those moments.

Whether you’re an RC racer, track owner, small business operator, or anyone who wants to build loyalty and community, this episode is a reminder that people may forget what you did—but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.

🎧 Married to RC — real conversations about business, marriage, and building something meaningful in the RC world.

Most importantly, this episode is a thank you—to our racers, our customers, our friends, our family, and everyone who chose to support LCRC this year.

From our family to yours: Merry Christmas, and thank you for being part of our story.
