1 more race to mention:
Vintage Associated Race in Las Vegas later this year:

Mentioning @Suburban_Hooligan as he hates anything modern

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

to be fair i only hate about 90% of what's modern. and this is happening in your neck of the hood which means its a good 2600 miles from me. i wouldn't race at it, but wouldn't mind checking it out as a spectator.

 

[DavidB1126]

cause you would be too slow with your 3 minute run time 6 cell nicad homemade wired trickle charged batteries!

I mean just look at the rules. Its practically modern race electronics and gear but all setup in a vintage rear motor car on slicks practically. Atleast for the race this weekend at my local track.

Atleast with the Las Vegas race, Associated is making it where sure, its all modern gear, but no slicks, no tire sauce/compound/additive, because they say it won't be needed. So, and also watching their video on their YT channel it is indoors in a arena but it will be just purely dirt so most likely on modern pin style tires, OR big spike tires like back in the day.

Tamiya plastic and wheelie classes sounds like a freakin blast. Everybody is going to be too busy giggling to pay attention during those heats.

Forgot to update this but here's some pics from the Vintage showdown race the other weekend at The Track. Via the "Old School RC" group on FB. Tagging @Suburban_Hooligan as he'll like the trucks and buggies. But obviously not the slicks that are on there. Tagging @CertifiedMike to see if he can point out any Kyosho's And everyone else.

Dirt IS a pretty unusual surface to find offroad after all...
