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.
1988. Hit theaters month after HS graduation. Took me another 22 years to try RC.

I’ve done the parking lot racing we 3 groups going back to 2017. The stores got sales from it. And actually had a few regulars that came to watch often. But had no effect on getting people involved in my area. Just required a lot more effort to setup and take down tracks in same day. Made days even longer as most would leave after their race. Had good help for setting up. But usually only a few for tear down.
