Mini4WD US Grand Prix Hobbytown Toms River 2026

Watch as I describe the events from the America Cup at Hobbytown Toms River, part of the Mini4WD US Grand Prix 2026! Includes videos for Open Class as well as analysis and discussion. In a field of 35 Open Class cars built by some of the best racers in the nation, I prevailed and won Bronze (3rd Place). I actually won Finals Lane 1 (Pole Position) against some seriously fast cars. No easy feat! I did it with a car that contains many upgrades of my own design. The track was one of the most difficult I've raced on. My prizes are a Tamiya RC car (Comical Hornet worth $253), a Mini4WD car kit, and an aluminum setting board. Any podium spot in this race secures an invitation to the US Grand Prix in Southern California. To learn more about my background with Open Class cars, please watch the discussion following the race videos. The wisdom you will learn from me is applicable to everything in your life. 0:00 Introduction 0:13 Jayr vs. Clare for Finals Lane 1 1:44 Race Discussion 2:04 Second Round - RedTang 4:03 Chatting with Jay 4:13 Rattlesnake Tail Damper 4:44 Winner's Race for Finals Lane 2 4:58 Track Discussion 5:50 Third Round - RedTang 6:47 Finalists for Open Class 7:07 OPEN CLASS FINALS 8:18 Re-Race 1 9:18 Re-Race 2 9:59 Open Class Podium 12:11 Podium Car Discussion 18:54 How I Started In Open Class 24:38 Why I Innovate 29:56 What Makes a Car Fast 33:26 Stock Class Discussion 34:17 Faith 37:54 More Track Discussion 40:50 Grand Prix Car Limits 42:21 Final Thoughts Race for Lane 1 filmed by Doug M.
