This looks fun!!! I went to Hobbyrama and the show part of it was lame but the racing looked nice. I plan on racing this event. Has anyone here raced at Motorama and what advice do you have for someone like me, which will be their first Motorama?

Running the Races
Hidden Hanger Hobbies,they did a great job at Hobby Roma
At this point unless they make a change they are going to do 1/8 scale electric on the Nitro track.
That is what I have been told to this point

I will be there for sure. I raced at Hobbyrama and had a blast.
I wonder how running electric 1/10th scale and electric 1/8th on two different tracks will be. I might just run my two 1/10th SC trucks and have to leave the 1/8th at home.
I say Nitro on one track and Electric on the other.
