We race 1/10th electric, 1/10th nitro, and IGT on a smallish (120' x 60') parking lot track. The tracks would not be considered flowing but instead are technical.

I looked up one of our race results and saw that the best 1/10th nitro guy's average laps for that day were 15.8. The best IGT guy's average laps for that day were 17.1.

I don't know if the closeness is just due to the non-flowing nature of the track but spec yellow cab to Busch is not an accurate analogy.

To the guys who are suggesting low torque rules and that these are somewhat like big block street racers, that analogy hits home with me. I put a much higher end engine in my IGT than the stock engine and really didn't see much difference on a technical track.
