I think it would benefit NASCAR, INDY, IMSA, WEC, etc... if they got directly involved in RC Racing, but it's up to the RC manufacturers to convince them it is worth their time and effort.

I believe it's worth their time, because they need to find a way to encourage kids to become apart of racing, especially now that it has become a lot more technical. RC can be a gateway into that world. Setup theory that applies to RC also applies to 1:1, working as a team both on and off the track, working in the pit, etc... are all skills that can be taught using RC Racing as a fun way to teach while allowing the kids to get first hand experience. A lot of racers get an early start and those racers need a team/crew, so why not get potential crew/team members going at an early age as well?

I have heard that people involved in 1:1 racing are into RC cars. Imagine the impact they could have if they showed up at events to give these kids tips and to drive the point home that what they are learning at the RC track applies at the 1:1 track.
