Our story

In 2015 Brett and Brenda Wilson created DieHard RC with the goal to inspire Youth, build community and support Veterans. We started with Remote Control racing programs and STEM based education at the local Boys & Girls club and it quickly grew.

In 2016 we were approached by a property owner in Snohomish who had 50 acres of agricultural land and he asked if we would like to build an RC track. We didn’t have the resources to build an RC track at first but, we had seen drone racing on TV and thought it would be a cool experience. The sport quickly grew and we held the MultiGP regional championship in 2016 with over 50 pilots from all over the country. We also launched the DieHard Veterans program to help Veterans that suffer from PTSD.

In 2019 we created the DieHard Girls Program to support all those little girls who want to break through boundaries and be part of something bigger than themselves. Brenda also co-founder of 1000 drones for 1000 girls which is a non-profit focused on increasing the number of women and girls in the drone industry.

We have continued to build tracks on that property in Snohomish alongside our amazing community. We currently have 10 different features at DieHard Family RC Park such as our 1/10th scale turf track and our 1/8th & 1/10th scale Dirt track. Our latest track is our 1/8th &1/10th scale Clay Oval and Sand Drag racing track.

We also share the DieHard RC experience through our indoor Off-Road carpet racing programs during the winter at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds. In 2022 we were honored with the Washington Veteran Business of the year award from the SBA and Business Impact NW. We continue to focus on remote control programs and experiences for new racers as well as providing a safe and inclusive place for families and people of all ages to learn grow and compete together.
