The M-01 chassis is definetely included and possibly the M-02. I will have to do more research on that. (or does somebody here know for sure?) The M-03 came out well after '96. So to answer to your question is no, the M-03 is too late of a vehicle to be considered vintage.

Another update:
We will not be running an oval track for this race. I talked to Robert, the track owner, and we came to the conclusion that it will not be a good idea. Here's why: the oval cars will be generating a lot of speed. The concrete that the carpet sits on is not the smoothest, and would make handling these cars bad. Not saying the road course racing will suffer. Rob knows where all the concrete issues are and does a great job of designing the track layout around the problem areas.

This race is planned for the end of February. 19th practice, 20th practice/qualifiers, 21st qualifiers/mains.
We will be in contact with sponsors, but based on the economy, I would not expect too much from them.
I will be posting this race info on many of the other well populated RC websites as well. It will be on RC signup too.
Quoting myself.

I know the rules are coming, but what are the rules regarding parts like shock towers, steering components etc...? How much of the car has to be vintage? Just trying to decide which direction to go with the build I have in mind.

What kind of car are you talking about? a gearbox car?
The website for this race will be up soon.

Definitely gearbox. I'm just curious if a home-made shock tower or something like that was allowed. I can wait for the site, I was just looking around at work this morning for different ideas.

You can build what ever kind of shocktower you want, as long as you could have made it in 1996 it's legal.
The main rules are pre1996 chassis's and 17.5 or 27turn stock motor.
