Stephen was a passionate competitor, mentor, and cornerstone of the RC community whose impact will never be forgotten. This event is about more than racing—it's about honoring his legacy and supporting his family. All proceeds from the race will go directly toward the education of Stephen's daughter. Come race, remember, and help us carry on his spirit in the place he loved most.
