Finally had a chance to attend a outdoor race. This winter has been long and hard, as I'm sure it's been for a lot of people.

I have the nitro truggy but seems like I might have to make a decision on weather or not to get a conversion kit. I already knew that most run E-Truggy but thought that maybe a few would still bring out the nitro's. I def don't want to be the lone nitro guy that's for sure. Not that I wouldn't be able to find a pit guy but I really don't want to be the one making the rules have to change. Like all E-Truggies having to pit for x amount of seconds cause of me. I do have a track that brings around some nitro but I don't go there every week. I guess if I want more stick time without the hassle I might need to look into the swap.

I was able to get a video of Chicky and Joe Bornhorst running there Serpent E-Truggies. Made me wish I had the conversion kit already, lol.
