Hobbico's most popular surface brands headline two different off-road races - the first being the inaugural Keystone Classic in Pennsylvania, with a team short course enduro and dash for cash, and the other being the eighth annual Futaba/O.S. Nitro Challenge that returns to the famed St. Louis Dirtburners facility.
 
Press release from Hobbico:
 
 
 
The 8th Annual Futaba/O.S. Nitro Challenge and now, the 5th race in the 2014 US Pro Cup!
 
 
It's back and bigger than ever, and it all starts on Thursday, July 24 at the newly remodeled home track of the Dirt Burners R/C Club in St. Louis!
 
The new track layout is just one of the exciting changes for 2014. There's also an additional day of practice and a brand-new racing class to enjoy. 
 
This year, there will be seven classes of 1/8 scale nitro racing; the six we had last year, plus a nitro buggy event just for drivers over 40! We’ll also have the same two classes of electric competition, too, bringing the total to nine competition classes. 
 
As always, only the best and most skillful drivers will win cash and merchandise prizes — but everyone will take home a free event T-shirt just for paying the entry fee! 
 
And that’s still just $45.00! 
 
Come for the day...or stay for the weekend. It’s all happening Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, July 27. See you there!
