Thousands of spectators flocked to the 2012 Motorama event in Harrisburg, PA to watch and participate in everything from Motocross to R/C, and everything in between. The R/C event featured two different tracks. One was designed for competition among traditional 1:10 off-road vehicles including 2WD buggies, 4WD buggies, and stadium trucks on a clay surface. The other, larger track featured racing for 1:8 electric buggies and truggies along with 2WD and 4WD Short Course truck. With spectators filing through the event throughout the two-day period, many were witnessing competitive R/C car racing for the first time.

On the 1:10 track, Chad Due was on fire with his Reedy powered B4.1 and B44.1 buggies, taking the victory in the two premier classes on that track - 2WD and 4WD Modified. Dave Duncan had a successful weekend as well driving his Reedy powered T4.1 took the class victory in the 17.5 Stadium Truck class.

Joining Chad and Dave in the winner’s circle was Max Flurer. Max took his Reedy powered FT SC10 to the top step of the podium and backed up his top-qualifying effort with a victory in the 2WD Modified Short Course class on the larger 1:8 track.

With such a large opportunity to showcase R/C racing to a massive group of potential customers, Motorama represents an event unlike any other. Racing in front of an interacting with spectators that that are discovering R/C racing for the first time is a highly recommended experience.
