BEST FOR BESS
June 5–7 2026
Join us June 5-7, 2026 for Best for Bess, an off-road RC race held in memory of our friend and fellow racer, Stephen Bess. 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.
Entry is $30 per racer, with raffle prizes donated by our top sponsors up for grabs throughout the event.
