Hi, I wanted to write an article regarding the formation and operation of RC racing clubs. We started THRC off road down here in Houston in the Spring of 2001. At that time we could not even get 6 people to show up and race. We started brainstorming on ideas to increase the interest and get more people involved and eventually racing. We recently started our mini scale racing program called (HMSR) Houston Mini Scale Racing. We started this program on the same premis as the off road club THRC. The first thing to do is identify the existing racers and car owners. Get their names and email addresses and start some sort of communication process. Even using message boards such as the mini-z racer forum will work. The key is having a place where the racers in your area will have clear access to your intentions and schedule on a local level.    more »
