Any three like vehicles make a race. I don't think any of our "regulars" have electric MT's, so if it came down to it, you might have to run with them. Bateriy capacity probably wouldn't be an issue in the heats, but the mains are 15 min. One week we had a guy with a 1/10th scale, electric, 4WD truck that finished second out of seven in the main. He had to stop once to change batteries. He was leading at the time.

Hope to see you soon.

It's just unfortunate that I can't find a pit guy so full time nitro racing is out of the question. However I have had an offer to be a pit guy for a fledgling rc racer.

Twas 3 weeks before Christmas and out on the track

Not a driver was racing not even a hack.

The stockings were hung on the drivers stand with care

In hopes that Saint Nitro would soon been there.

The turn marshals were nestled all snug in their beds

With visions of trophies dancing in their heads.

With mom in her nighty and me an my cap

Had settled in for a long winters nap.

When out on the track we heard such a clatter

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

I opened the window and to my surprise

There was a monster truck on the track with 8 little pit guys.

The driver was running to and fro

I knew at that moment it was Saint Nitro.

He whistled at the pit guys and called them by name

On Terry, On Todd, On Stevie and Roy,

On Tommy, On Phil, On David and Danny Boy.

They filled all stockings with new cars and new trucks

I even saw some with Hobby Town Bucks.

As they climbed back in the truck

I think Stevie got stuck.

Then he gave a yell while closing the hatch

If you want to win a trophy you better be at the Patch.

LOL! The track is built on what once was a garden. There's no onions there now, just an occasional rose bush.

Have fun with your Chevys!
