Its incredibly intense, there's also teamwork involve, its not just you driving. Its something that every RC racer should experience, adrenaline high! Ive also pitted MANY 60 minute mains, and even as a pit man is very intense, specially if you pit someone that can win the race. The day I quit nitro is the day I quit for good. If nitro ever gets banned Ill stop racing.
+1 not to mention that Brushless is "easy" no tuning involved (ESC setup does not count - thats like using cheat codes), no real strategy such as pitting for fuel, clutch setup etc. And to leave this thought - I would venture to say that 80% of the racers now that love Electric "Brushless" have never raced in the 80-90's when it was about brushed motors (timing and winds etc.) and not to mention the Battery wars. if the shoe fits...
I love Nitro, and will leave my "rant" at that.
