Yes, but only slightly so. The one thing the internet has helped with in a positive manner in the last 20 years or so is that most who follow the RC Racing, can do so much easier now than 20 years ago. All of the wed site coverage of various races and Live RC has done wonders for many in the hobby. Still, it can be a bit better than what it currently is, though I'm not exactly sure of the path that would need to be taken. With a bit more mainstream following, it should stand to reason that we would all have many more people in the hobby and racing side thereof. Yet, I'd be a little concerned that in going too mainstream, we'd all loose track of much of what we know of RC Racing to be now. It's a balance.
Should it get to the point that we follow the model of the other more mainstream full size forms of racing, I don't know if it would go over well with most racers. For example, if you don't qualify in the top 40, you go home. Many forms of full scale racing do that very thing, and it's pretty much accepted by all involved. We can't get RC racers to agree on much of anything, so I don't know how RC Racers come to terms with that type of racing format. It was posted that in order to gain better TV coverage, we'd have to change the current format to less qualifying and more racing. While that could help, I don't think that would have to be done. Look at MX and SX, the fans and racers are all there for most of the day, but the actual TV coverage is much less. It's possible to do the same in RC Racing.
