Yes, because most people have only an idea of the cheap cars from the toy store. I think any serious racing fan who like to race him/her self should get some tinteling in the body when they see the speed, the cornering and all the technique of these real competition RC cars. You just need to present it in right way to the public and not only some stupid driving and crashes. Beside that, if you want visitors to stay, you need to have a good speaker telling the public what is going on on the track.
I remember a Dirty Harry movie (Deadpool) that featured both a stock RC10 and one made into Corvette. But that was way back in the gold pan days.
What I'd like to see is parking lot racing return, get RCs out in the public for everyone to see, and offer drinks/snacks. It may not be as fun to watch as a proper off-road track but it gets everything out in the open.
I'd welcome the old "dork" perception over whatever we're seen as today.
