As a personal favorite genre of JConcepts founders Jason and Allison Ruona, JConcepts made a big push to be apart of the vintage revival at the 2025 Team Associated Vintage Championships held in Las Vegas.
Right at 475 entries joined in on the action with an epic track by the Factory Tracks crew, announcing by the World Famous Scotty Ernst, and broadcast by MOD Live Media.
Racers showed out with stunning vintage and rare vehicles and pushed them to the limits in 10 different classes as well as the Legends Exhibition.
