Twice every year, beginning of season and end of season, the Radio Control Racers of Edmonton host the Oil City Dash (OCD). The OCD is a premier off-road RC racing event spanning three days — Friday practice, Saturday qualifiers, and Sunday main finals. Racers from all over Canada, or anyplace in the world, are invited to attend.

The event is open to the public and we encourage anyone interested in off-road RC racing to come out and watch the event. Watching is lots of fun and it’s free!
