I thought that 1/24th scale would be "Mini-Z" size class racing. They do have "real racing" with that scale.......just check em out on some of the Mini-Z posts here in RC Tech. I'm sure you will find exactly what you are looking for. Good luck.

These rules were made to accommodate the majority of hobby shop grade 1/18 vehicles on the market.
• Assume the following: If the rules don’t say you can do it, you can’t. ASK FIRST
• NO REVERSE. If you use reverse, even once, you will be assessed 5 second stop & go penalty. After 3 stop & go penalties in one race you will be disqualified from that race and your car will be removed from the track. No refund will be given.
• No rough or “team” driving. Anyone who is considered to be team driving or rough driving will be disqualified and no refund will be given.
• All races will be 5 minutes long (excluding the Super Main)
• 2/3A cells or 2S max for LiPo type battery packs for stock classes
• No Sub C sized cells in ANY class
• No 540 Sized motors in any class
• Tires may not extend beyond the wheel wells in the micro touring car classes.
• Unless given prior approval, vehicles can ONLY race in classes originally intended by the manufacturer.
o It is acceptable to turn an X-Ray M18T Pro into an M18B (for the buggy open class) or an M18MT
o The Vendetta ST can run in the buggy open class provided it has a buggy body and buggy tires/rims and fits the provided dimensions
• All prototype and one of a kind items/modifications must be approved by the race director before being used in competition. Long-term prototype vehicles admitted at race directors approval
