I was raised in Mars, PA. I started at the Mars hobby shop
running the midnight pumpkin pulling truck, and continued to do that for a few
years.
I later got involved with a sprint car team at Lernerville as
well as helping out on a Big Block Modified. As time went on I
also became involved with a Late Model team and still work on a crew
today.
In the winter of 2008 I heard about Doug McCullough's track, and
one snowy day my dad and I took a ride over, the next week I was
there with a gas truck and one fishing box with some tools in
it. I said to my self "wow this is a lot of work". That year I
went around and started to talk to people about sponsorship.
Let me tell you, making flyers and going around to potential
sponsors, it has all worked out. Now I have a full team with a
great group of guys. I am so happy the way it all turned out.
One thing about me, if I say I am going to do something, I do
it, and I will keep building.

Outside of R/C, i like to play hockey, and hang out with my
friends.
I got started in this hobby with Radio Shack Xmods,
when they stopped making them i went to hobby town in
monroeville (now located in Irwin) looking for a new car to
replace them. I bought a Traxxas Rustler and really liked the
speed, and the performance of it, it was alot more tunable and
upgradeable than the previous Xmod cars I had. I then bought a Traxxas Slash in May of 2009.
I started racing at McCulloughs
R/C during the 2009, 2010 indoor season, I loved the atmosphere
and all the nice people that help you out. when the outdoor
season came around, I started to talk to Bob Fetter a good bit,
then one day he pulled me aside and asked if I would like a spot
on the team, and it was just a deal i could not turn down and
I'm
glad I didn't. being on fetter race team is great! the guys are
fun to be with and its nice to have people right there to help
when you need it.
I would like to thank: Bob Fetter for giving me a spot on the
team.
Bob Baker (my grandpa): for hauling me to the track all the
time.
My Parents: For helping me through everything. Even though I
drive them crazy!
Mike Conors: For helping me get started in R/C
Thank You everyone for there support! |

I was born in Luton England. My father was in the United States
Air Force, so I spent most of my childhood moving around Europe.
I have lived in England, Finland, Germany, and currently reside
in Butler PA. I became interested in R/C cars in February of
2009 after a 25 year career racing or working on full sized
Go-Karts, Micro Sprints, Pure Stock, and Late models.
While racing Karts I won over 45 races and 3 track
championships. I only ever won 1 heat race in my Pure Stock, and
1 Feature in my Late Model.
At the age of 50 I decided to give R/C racing a try when I heard
about an indoor carpet track about 30 min from my home. I talked
to some of the guys racing there and the next week I had a Losi
Mini Late Model.
I later heard about McCullough's and was very apprehensive about
turning right, after a life of dirt oval racing. In April of
2010 I gave it a try with a Traxxas Slash, and I am loving every
minute of it.
I joined Fetter Racing in August of 2010 after Long's Auto Body
Racing and Fetter Racing joined forces.

I was interested in racing R/C after my brother suggested we get
two wheel drive buggies together. We went to a local hobby shop
and met a guy that told us about the equipment that was used by
some of the fast guys at the local track. We purchased what he
told us and went to the local track we herd about. There we met
the owner and the tracks fastest racer. We were amazed how much
has changed since the day of spring shocks and mechanical speed
controllers. Since then my brother has popped in and out of
racing, but I chose to stick with it. I've met some interesting
characters to say the least and met a lot of good friends. Racing
never slows down and I'll never quit. |

I got into RC when my parents bought me a T
Maxx for Christmas. My dad heard about McCullough's so we went
out one Saturday to watch. 2 weeks later we were there racing,
and we raced all summer. That winter we bought a buggy and a
truck and went racing indoors.
Before racing R/C I raced BMX at westmoreland BMX for 4 or 5
years, and did very well. I am also into riding scooter where we
do tricks that amaze my dad.

I showed up at a dirt oval track with my
new Nikko Rhino and got my butt kicked but I had a blast. That's
all it took, I was hooked. Since then I have raced at many
different tracks and met a lot of crazy people which is half the
fun. The other half of the fun is the competition, and I love
the competition.

I got into RC when we bought a T Maxx for
Josh for Christmas, I bought a LST2 the following summer and we
had a blast bashing around. I later bought a lot of 4 RC
vehicles off Craig's list, one of which was a XTM 1/8 scale. I
had heard about McCullough's so Josh and I went on a Saturday
just to watch, we were greeted with enthusiasm and a great
atmosphere so 2 weeks later we were there and Josh raced his
first race with the XTM. I bought a Hyper 7 and we raced all
summer. That winter we bought a buggy and a truck and went
racing indoors. We have had some of the greatest father and son
times racing together, we have really connected through this. I
hope to continue for a long time.
