Dirt Oval Championships – $75 per entry

Important Info

Welcome to the 2026 Silver State Dirt Oval Championships January 9th-11th 2026!!

Thank you for your patience and interest in this brand new event! 1st ever Silver State Oval Championships! We are super excited and have a great team in place to make this a fun event.

1st off we would like to make sure racers and manufacturers know that we are not able to pick the dates for the Silver State event. The hotel/casino gives us the dates and we are grateful and say thank you!! It is one of the most sought after horse arenas in the world and we are very lucky to be able to have a spot there!!! I know this event is right next to the Chili Bowl and we were really bummed to find that out. Scotty Ernst and I are friends and he was excited to be a part of the SS Oval event (before we new the dates) and we were both bummed when the dates were set. He understands and knows it was out of our hands.  From the beginning, the long term goal with the Silver State was to make an event with all types of R/C racing going on at once, along with bringing all the manufacturers together for an even bigger race/trade show event and invite the public to see it all!!! One step at a time but we are getting there 🙂
