It could be similar to what Jimmy Babcock ( sorry if I spelled your name wrong ) is doing in Ca. and Kenny Brosh is doing in Az. but make it at tracks throughout the country. Maybe it could be 1 race a month for say 7-8 months. To promote the series ( again just a thought ) the race promoters could team up with ( or try to ) companies like RockStar or RedBull and put up cash prizes with small purses for each monthly race with grand prizes to the end of season for the Champions. To help with exposure also team up with events like Barrett Jackson, Nascar races and IRL races or some other car enthusiast events and hold races at their events. This way the hobby would get exposure to new people and the race sponsors would get additional exposure at the particular event the race was being held at.
A few things I left out of this part is at the races that were being held at venues with people watching an RC race for the first time and being exposed to RC racing for the first time there could be RC racers or some hired people in the crowds answering questions and handing out Q and A info ( maybe a few page magazine ) aimed at attracting new people into the hobby that also included a listing of tracks in each state so the people knew where to go near them to get started in the hobby.
