Good Saturday morning!

With heavy heart, we wish the family and friends of Eddie Rowland comfort and peace as they maneuver through the next few days and weeks, dealing with his death.

Eddie was a loyal racer at RC dirt oval tracks and loved to help others as they learned more about racing. His joy was always evident through his laughter and smiles.

Rest In Peace, Eddie.

Hey friends! Been a minute since we posted much on here, but we have heavy hearts tonight:

Fellow racer and all-around great guy Glen Gioia was diagnosed recently with leukemia. He was at Vanderbilt for a month or so of treatment, came home, and has continued to fight.

After much consideration and consultation, he is now on hospice services, with an expected 1-2 weeks left on this earth.

Pray for peace and comfort through the next few weeks, for him and his wife Georgia.

Glen always has a smile and hearty laugh, is helpful and kind, and relies on God for guidance and strength.

Much love to you, Glen.

Until we meet again, friend.

-Angelia and Jeff

Hey guys! Hope everyone is staying safe during these crazy times and looking forward to warmer weather soon (we hope!)

Just a quick note about one of our RC friends, Glen Gioia. Glen was one of our early customers and is a great friend to everyone who knows him. He has been diagnosed with acute leukemia and is at the Sarah Cannon Center in Nashville for extended treatment. Keep him and his wife Georgia in your hearts and prayers as he overcomes this challenge.

Thanks, friends.

We've been searching for the right words all day to express our sorrow about losing our friend and RC racer Robbie Graham.

Robbie packed a lot of life into a short time, and he navigated some tough times.

Hope he finds peace and calm beyond this world.

RIP, Robbie. We will always remember nights like this, racing til after midnight and celebrating friendship as much as a win.

Hi friends!

We sure do miss seeing everyone at a dirt track - it's been too long.

We are sad to hear about our friend and fellow racer, Frank Vance. Frank passed away a few days ago and it reminds us that our friendships are deep and true, even when we haven't seen each other in a while.

This picture is from several years ago. On the top left is Frank and top right is Red Long, both of whom have now passed on. Those two did love Joe's Crab Shack!

There is a fund set up to assist Frank's daughter with expenses. Look for Frank on FB and you should be able to find the info.

Rest in peace, friend, and thanks for great times.

Hey racers!!! Our plans to be at Smokey Mountain RC today are modified. The main "J" in our outfit isn't well, so the backup "J" (Angelia) will be there with some items. But y'all know she isn't pulling that big trailer, so let her know what you want brought out.

She will be there around 6 with whatever you tell her you need. Comment here, text Jeff (865.740.3931) or Angelia (865.386.0792)

Thanks folks and one of us will see you at the dirt in a few hours. 🏁

Our RC racing community has lost a great friend, Tony Sexton. We've known Tony for several years and have to say he never cheated, always smiled, and you parted the evening as friends. He was a good, good man.

We last saw him a few weeks ago and had the great fortune to spend about an hour talking, catching up. He had smiles, laughter, and great words to share that night as always.

Rest easy, Tony. Until we meet again, friend.

Hey folks! We had hoped to be at Smoky Mountain RC today, but that isnt going to work out. Jeff had oral surgery late Thursday and isn't up to par yet.

We can deliver anything you request to the track today, so let Jeff or Angelia know what you need.

Have a great day racing and here's to better health for everyone!

Hi everybody!!

We will be at the SCOR race this Friday and Saturday (5.22 & 5.23) at Smokey Mountain RC.

We have items in stock, but if there is something specific you want, let us know within the next few days so we can order for you.

We look forward to being at the track with everyone and moving past 2 months of isolation!

See you Friday 🏁

***note: half of J&J has a low-immunity, so we will ask that everyone try to keep distance while in our trailer. We will have disposable masks if you need one.

Hi everyone!

We hope all of you are staying healthy and safe. The conditions in our world right now are uncertain and scary, and we know that spending time with friends is good for the soul. Unfortunately, crowds of people are not exactly what the doctor ordered these days.

Due to underlying health issues that could complicate exposure to COVID-19, J&J is staying home during this time of caution. We do have items in stock and are happy to make a delivery to Smokey Mountain RC for you. We just aren't going to be in our trailer and hang out for the day, as we are trying to limit time around others.

Let us know if you need anything - we hope everyone is back to racing together soon and we look forward to being a part of it with you.

Stay healthy, everyone.
