There are a handful of major nitro off-road races in the U.S., some of which draw a diverse international crowd - the Dirt Nitro Challenge, Silver State, the Psycho Nitro Blast, Alabama Manufacturers Shootout - but none carry the prestige of crowning a national champion. Every year since 1998, the fastest fuel racers in the United States and Canada have convened somewhere within the continental 48 states to decide one of the most esteemed titles in RC racing - a trophy only held by a select few.
