Vernon is right in the middle of Kamloops & Kelowna each of which has on-road and off-road programs. Check out the R.O.C.K. club thread & the Thompson Valley RC'ers club thread

There a local hobby shop in Penticton... just south of Vernon. It's called ATD Hobbies and their # is 250-486-3657... website is http://www.autotrimcustoms.ca/ATD-Hobbies.page.. they support a local club here called the Penticton Radio Control Club (PRCC)... they race a full season of on-road on a biweekly basis and their website is www.pentictonrc.ca.. they also have plans for an off-road track which is being worked out with the City of Penticton... it's a great group of people with over 40 active members with an awsome atmosphere... Also if your into flying there is a club in Penticton that does that as well... they fly every Sat evening and their website is www.penmac.org... Hope this helps
