Each year CRCRC holds biggest indoor race of its kind in the United States.

These races are held on a large off-road motocross style track for hobby grade R/C cars. The electric powered cars are 1/10th scale, with different classes and styles of buggies and trucks.

They are powered by small 2 stroke engines that can hit speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. These cars can race for extended amounts of time with the help of pits stops. All of this adds to the excitement of the racing.
