A lifetime of achievement: Mike Reedy

Radio Control Car Action, Dec 2002 by Vieira, Peter

As readers (and writers) of Radio Control Car Action, many of us here have been into RC for a long time, but Mike Reedy of Reedy Modifieds has devoted his entire life to radio control, and he's one of the best. As a motor man, he is probably the best; more than 24 IFMAR World Championship titles have been credited to Reedy power. Many of racing's biggest names were discovered by Mike and have built their reputations running Reedy motors; Brian Kinwald, Mark Francis and Mark Pavidis are just a few of the racers Mike has nurtured from raw talents to seasoned pro's. But Mike isn't just about big names; he is there for anyone who needs help at a race, whether he's a novice or a pro.

Mike Reedy has also shaped the course of RC racing from the sanctioning side. He served as ROAR president and even took a turn as the president of IFMAR-RC's international sanctioning body. Mike has truly devoted his life to RC, and for that, we honor him as the first ever recipient of the Radio Control Car Action Lifetime Achievement Award. Mike, you've earned it.
