After 19 years my time with TLR/Trinity/Horizon Hobby is officially overI never knew if I was going to end up making this post or not during my career but after 19 years my time with TLR/Trinity/Horizon Hobby is officially over. I actually started with Teamlosi in 2006 after my first Nationals at SRS Raceway back in 2005. Man how my life and the industry has changed since then. From graduating school, to RC becoming my full time job, getting married, buying our first house, moving to Indiana, to now expecting our first child TLR has always been a constant in my life. We have been through a lot of ups and downs together within and outside of the industry and I will forever be grateful for all of the good memories that I do have.
Unfortunately the last couple of years I have felt like our connection has slowly been dwindling and with their decision to pull support from the professional racing scene it is time for me to start fresh and head in a new direction. I’ve lost a lot of sleep and had way too much stress these last couple of months knowing how much my life is about to change in 2025 and knowing I would also be leaving the company that has supported me from the beginning. I’ve looked at this scenario from every possible way and I’m so thankful for the blessings that have come from this tough spot in life. To the people that have reached out to Chloe and I to offer us comfort and strength you will never know how much that has meant to us. There are so many amazing people that I have had the pleasure of getting to know because of RC and it truly means the world to me to feel all of the love and support that I have. To the companies and opportunities that fell into place, man I’m so excited for the future! I have a lot left in the tank and this is the reset I need to continue to grow on and off the track. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year! I’ll be starting the year off with a bang January 1st at Hoosier RC for the Clash of Champions, followed by SIC, and Factory NSX! See everyone there. News to come soon! |
Dakotah Phend ROAR Nationals Driver Profile![]() TLR’s top dog for many years Dakotah Phend has been stunning racers since he was a knee high to a grasshopper.
Dubbed the Phenom in his early years, Phend is phenomenally talented. At only a young 24 years old Phend is a veteran in our sport first touching a control at the age of 7.
2021 has seen ups and downs for the Michigan native. Phend has shown incredible speed but at a cost in consistency. At DNC he Tqed all 3 classes. Unfortunately for him a nitro buggy victory would not happen with a disappointing 12th after the 45 min A main. 5th at PNB was promising and Phend went into Silver State, a race he should have won in 2019 with some confidence. This would be the race Phend would want to forget with a very disappointing 19th place and not making the big show at a race that Phend needed a good result or win. Dakotah attended the Nats Warm Up and won it but as we know warm-ups don’t count or do they? Phend needs a big nitro victory so he can shed the image of being “fast for 5 mins” and the term“Phended” as it is coined after Phend for his inconsistency during the long nitro mains. Phend has all the resources of TLR and JConcepts behind him. Also he is considered one of the fastest, most naturally talented racers in the world. Can the Phenom fulfill the prophecy and become the 2021 National Champion? |
