Reese Elementary School will play host to this small-scale R/C showdown.

Thumb RC and the ROVE program of Reese Elementary in Reese, MI have partnered for the upcoming Michigan Mini Off-Road Championship Series (MMORCS) presented by Redcat Racing.

The public is invited to attend and participate in this overall series, which has a race day starting time of 11:00am (3:00pm starting time on 2/11/16).

On each race day, there will be two 6-minute qualifying sessions and one 8-minute main race for each class.
