Race Em RC Club!!

I was a founding member of the Dirt dawgs, along with 2 others, we sat in Cory's barn, came up with a few ideas and a name and that was about it. I think from first idea to actually getting members was done in a week or two tops. Granted we had land already, but other than that its getting the word out and not being so secretive (where people may think you are up to something) like alot of your posts sound. We told people when we raced and come out and try it set up a membership by arrangeing discounts, ordering t shirts and vehicle stickers. First year I think we had 20 members and by second year we had maybe 60 or so. Shoot those on here that remember when we first started we counted laps by hand. By the end of year 2 we had a timing system.

You want to make it as easy as possible and as simple to understand and be very clear about your intentions and directions. This way people see exactly what you are doing and where you are going with it. IMHO much easier to trust the organizers then.

We didnt need emails to keep us going or encourage us, it didn't matter to us if we had 10 or 60 guys out there we just wanted to get together and enjoy the hobby as a group.

If your doing this for non profit than don't lose site of the goal of enjoying the hobby. The business owned tracks are just that businesses, so your track can be as enjoyable or maybe even more fun than the business owned but remeber those are business driven where a club is more for enjoyment.
