Working to make RC even better!!
Christina, Her hubby Ray & their kids
Supportive Mom
Christina really started to become involved in RC when her son showed an interest when he was young (about 6 years old in 2012). She saw that the hobby was not really geared towards kids, and since she is someone who will step up to help fix something rather than complain, she got involved with helping to push for junior classes and making the race environment more friendly for juniors.
They now have a very strong junior scene in Australian RC and Christina is one of the reasons for that. When Her son was younger, Christina would help prep his car and even painted his bodies (he loved Minecraft and so his bodies were painted in a Minecraft theme).
Ray travelled a lot for work and recalled one event in a country town a 6 hour drive from where they lived that he was not able to attend.. Their Son was 8 and daughter was 5. Christina drove both kids up there for the weekend and they had a great time! Now THATS a supportive Mom!!
Getting involved
As a family they have now raced in the USA, China (2017 worlds) and Europe (2019 world's). Ray hopes that with the family travelling together, the kids have fantastic memories of RC. In addition to supporting Ray and the Kids racing most weekends, Christina also got involved in club and national level RC organizations.
Her proudest moment was being asked to present to the IFMAR committee at the 2017 world's on future direction of RC and what steps they could do regarding it being recognized as a sport.
Locally she has had a big impact on their club improving infrastructure and the track surface through her ability to communicate really well with local councils. Ray says, “I’m very lucky to have an awesome RC wife like Christina!!” and we AGREE!!

RC Wife of Chris Austin-
You don't get much more supportive than Mel. You can almost always find her hangin' in the pits with her man, entertaining him while he wrenches. Pull up a chair and solo cup and come chat it up with this cutie and maybe you'll hear that Southern Twang slip out.
