In a hobby driven by trends, hype, and the “next new thing,” Christa and Kevin share an unpopular opinion: brand loyalty still matters. In this episode of Married to RC, they break down why committing to brands like Mugen, JConcepts, Factory Xtreme, and Custom Works has shaped LCRC Raceway—not just in business, but in community, customer service, and trust. This isn’t about exclusivity—it’s about relationships, consistency, and showing up for each other.
Christa and Kevin interview Alicia and Gary Fletcher of G3RC Raceway in North Carolina about growing an RC business at a different stage. A must-listen for RC track owners and racers ready to consider growth, long-term planning, and what comes next.
What if the thing that truly sets your business apart has nothing to do with what you sell—and everything to do with how you make people feel? In this episode of Married to RC, Christa and Kevin Mummah share the mindset that quietly transformed LCRC Raceway and reshaped the way they think about hospitality, customer service, and community. They call it “Meet Them With a Drink.” And no—it’s not about the drink. It’s about setting the tone the moment someone arrives. Making people feel comfortable before they ask for help. Treating racers not just as customers, but as guests. From pit parties and wash stations to concierge trash service, golf cart rides, and fixing cars whenever possible, Christa and Kevin break down the small, intentional acts that create unforgettable experiences—and why those moments matter more than any trophy. They also talk honestly about how hard it can be to keep this mindset when you’re exhausted, dealing with negativity, or navigating tough days—and why hospitality matters most in those moments. Whether you’re an RC racer, track owner, small business operator, or anyone who wants to build loyalty and community, this episode is a reminder that people may forget what you did—but they’ll never forget how you made them feel. 🎧 Married to RC — real conversations about business, marriage, and building something meaningful in the RC world.
As 2025 comes to a close, Christa and Kevin sit down for a heartfelt year-end conversation about what it really took to get through this season—personally, professionally, and as a family business.

We reflect on the wins, the setbacks, the sacrifices, and the growth that only comes from pushing through hard seasons. We also look ahead to 2026—what we’re excited about, what we’re changing, and what we’re committed to doing better as we continue building something special with this community. Most importantly, this episode is a thank you—to our racers, our customers, our friends, our family, and everyone who chose to support LCRC this year. From our family to yours: Merry Christmas, and thank you for being part of our story.
