From left to right, looks like Brian Deegan, a dude I don't know (sorry bro!), Casey Currie, Rick Johnson, Evan Evans, and a very over-exposed Steve Barlow.

The Traxxas full-size R/C truck was there, along with the Traxxas duallie/stage on wheels

Drivers from THE Traxxas Off-Road Championship (TORC) took time to share some smiles and stories with children from Loma Linda’s Ronald McDonald house. “It’s a great cause bringing some levity to these kids day, their challenges are very real and this foundation does an amazing job for so many” stated Pro 2WD driver Ricky Johnson.

Autograph session with the TORC pros

Drivers signed autographs, toured the facility and shared a delicious lunch with facility volunteers.

“This is a chance for TORC to give back to the community,” stated Brian Robertson of Kumho Tires. “We came to visit with the kids and their families letting them spend the day doing something fun and exciting." TORC sponsors and race teams came together and donated many items for the kids and their families. TORC looks forward to supporting this charity for a very long time.

A Ronald McDonald House is a "home away from home" for families of seriously ill children who have had to travel to receive treatment at children's hospitals in the United States and other countries. The first House opened in October 1974 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Since that time, the Ronald McDonald House program has expanded across the U.S. and around the world. Each Ronald McDonald House offers all the comforts of home- private guest rooms and bathrooms, communal kitchen and dining areas, laundry facilities, play rooms, playgrounds, TV and computer areas.
