I'd 100% disagree with the "I need a rear motor to run 2wd there" thinking. When I went to the RC-Area meeting I won it with an X6, and next time I go I'll only be taking the Centro with me for 2wd.
The only thing that people might need to change is the motors they're running, a 10.5 will be more than enough for most people in 2wd at SV - it will have more than enough grunt to clear the jumps and will be a lot easier to get the power you actually have to the ground. One of the main things I've noticed whenever I've run in America is how sensible the club level drivers are in general about motors, they tend to only bolt in what they can handle - whereas over here it seems to be 5/6.5 in 4wd and 6/7.5 in 2wd no matter what the track/driver skill level.
Covering the track in astro would completely defeat the point and make it 'just another track', also the myth people seem to believe about 1-2 run tyres on dirt totally doesn't apply on either SV or RHR-D surfaces. The M4's I ran at SV had 2 RHR-D meeting's worth of running on them and there's still plenty of life left in them now! With the style of dirt tyre used at SV you can pretty much run them down to bald if there's no dust on the line, unlike minispikes on astro which these days are way slower after just one run because the edge has worn off the spike.
