Recently at the Scottish Motor Show at Knockhill, the Dunfermline District Radio car club WWW.DDRCC.co.uk  participated in the full weekend, we were allocated as an exhibitor an area of some 20 metres square, we erected an exhibition/information area, track and pitting areas.  The pattern of the two days were to hire out the clubs cars (mardaves) as these are easy to set up maintain to establish a rota of repairs and cell charging then an exhibition of cars that were brought along by some of our sister clubs (Levenmouth radio car club, Caledonian Car Club and Stirling Nitro Club. Cars that were exhibited included: 5^th scale, 8^th scale,10^th  scale, 12th scale, mini stocks, bangers, f1 stock cars, truggies and buggies. All the web sites are listed as links on the BRCA web site WWW.BRCA.org   

 Mike Chilvers the Public Relations Officer from the BRCA was also in attendance imparting a lot of information from his vast years experience including his knowledge of vehicles and how the BRCA operates, he was quite adept at giving a running commentary when exhibitions were on going. The queue to have a go with the cars was very heartening a load of youngsters and some big kids as well, they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves with some comments of: this is better than an play station or an xbox, which it is really as it’s the next step up from game machines and initially cheaper at the entry level of Mardave racing.

Finally the whole object of the exercise was to promote the sport in all its forms and try to drum up new members for the various clubs, a special thanks to Knockhill for giving us the opportunity to take part in the prestigious Scottish Motor Show.
