Yep......
Kinda sucks when all your hard work reeling in the leader(with a $300 engine) in the infield is totally wasted when you hit the straightaway and the leader just leaves you in the dust.
You either live with that or go spend some $$$ just to keep up!
I have to admit that I can afford a $300(barely

) but I still have a hard time spending that kind of money on a .12.
The real issue here though is the beginners and their inability to purchase these high dollar engines. That and the growth of the class.
