Elliott Harper Joins Team CRC

Calandra Racing Concepts announces that United Kingdom's young rising star, Elliott Harper, has joined the CRC race team. Elliott will be driving the new CRC 1:12th scale Gen-XL car with CRC Pro Cut tires at the BRCA Nationals starting Dec 11-13, 2009 in Tamworth, UK. He will represent the full line of CRC products with Gen-XL and Gen X 10 cars, Pro Cut tires and Black Art bodies. As a past BRCA Nationals winner and IFMAR World Championship A-finalist, Harper is sure to stir up the results this coming season.

Elliott is a superb driver on the rise, and as his continued success on the national and international racing scene shows, Elliott is a force to be reckoned with at any road racing event. With 1:12th specialists Calandra Racing Concepts adding to his already impressive arsenal, the 2009-2010 season is showing great promise.

While Elliott plans to compete in as many races as possible, the 2010 Worlds and Euros are still a bit tentative because of his studies. As a dedicated student, Elliott may be forced to miss some events in the name of education. However, look for the young star to be a threat at all the events that he attends. CRC welcomes the UK speedster to the team and wishes him good luck in racing and in his studies.

Imitation is the Best Form of Flattery

Calandra Racing Concepts (CRC) is proud of it's place as a leader in engineering, design and technology in the R/C Model Car field. From our revolutionary designs with chassis, front suspensions and wheels to our uniquely engineered projects like Clik Trak and Fasttrak, CRC is always leading the way.

In engineering school, I learned a couple basic principles; if an idea or design works, build your idea around it and expand from there. Secondly, remember to blaze a new trail, be the first to leave footprints; innovate, create and maintain a passion to be a leader.

In the small world of 1:12th wheels, CRC was the first to offer the high roller 38 mm wheels that maximized wheel dimensions to the full extent of the rules. We took special care to make the wheel light and strong. All other manufactures soon followed with high roller designs of their own.

The Real Deal, Genuine CRC Pro Cuts

Today, I see in a press release that ATS Tires in Italy has taken the phrase "don't re-invent the wheel" to whole new level by making a close copy of the popular CRC High Roller 38 (HR38) 1:12th wheel.
