Overview
Red Racer F1 is a cocktail tomato on a compact determinate plant, bred by EarthWork Seeds and named a national AAS winner in 2018. The bush stays about three feet tall, needs only optional support, and suits containers and small gardens, yet trial judges called it a very heavy producer, with around 68 uniform round red fruits of about two ounces per plant. Flavor is classic tomato. It matures early, around 57 days from transplant. Disease resistance includes Verticillium, Fusarium races 1 and 2, nematodes, tomato mosaic virus, and gray leaf spot, which makes it a sound choice where soil pests have troubled tomatoes before.
