Connor Racing Team (CRT) is Garson and Carol Connor. They discovered R/C model boat racing February 2005. They have not looked back since. Garson (the primary driver of the team) had his first race in May 2005. Carol followed suit in October 2005. They serve as Pit Person for each other in their respective heats, of which they are both winners.

Garson and Carol have sinced traveled throughout the state of Florida and beyond, racing and selling R/C model boat parts.

Connor Racing Team are members of North American Model Boating Association (NAMBA). This dynamic duo are active in promoting and perserving the sport of R/C model Boat Racing. So much so, that in November 2007, Garson was voted into Office to serve as NAMBA District 3 Gas Director, and Carol was voted into Office to serve as NAMBA District 3 Safety Director.

They will tell you they can't remember what life was like before R/C model boat racing, and they have no intention of finding out.

Because of their racing experiences, they understand the importance of having, vital parts necessary to a racer in order to keep his/her boat properly dialed in and ready to compete. It's disappointing, when a racer is in first place (point wise), then, during the last race of the season, a part breaks, they don't have the parts for the repair and either the racer doesn't have time or is in a city he/she is not familiar with, to be able to go to the hobby store; in which case, they lose their position and must scratch that boat for the duration of the race, pooof; there goes that yearly championship trophy. Sounds familiar?

To the Connor Racing Team, this sport is their passion and through this passion was birthed Connors R/C Pit Stop.

Connors R/C Pit Stop

The concept of Connors R/C Pit Stop was born, out of passion and largely out of necessity. We were attending a race in Georgia, when at the closing of open water day, a part on Garson's boat broke. We were far away from the nearest hobby store and none of the other racers had the part. Garson was able to repair the boat, to a certain degree, which allowed it to run, but not at the performance level, that it was running the morning before. Needless to say, He did not get 1st Place; he got the 3rd Place trophy in that class; for that race event. Not; what we were aiming for.

After that experience, we decided, we would try to avoid having this occur again and hopefully prevent it from happening to other racers. We started to purchase various parts, that are considered to be vital but not easily obtainable. Bit by bit we are developing our inventory. We are frequently updating the product list, so feel free to return often to see what has been added.

Meeting New Friends

Our goal is to continue racing around the country and meeting new friends, while providing the parts and services needed at the race sites. We hope to ultimately meet, any and all of your R/C model boat part needs. What is most important to us is, doing it with integrity.

Come and join us at the pond.
