Just love comments from the on lookers that don't understand. bet they just jump into there cars on a freezing cold morning, start it and drive away with out even turning the heater on and wounder why they freeze to death.

To help out here, about five minutes from the last heat to the start of the Nitro race should be plenty, but in some cases the driver/tuners are that far out that they need half an hour just to start the car. This makes it annoying not only to the better set up guys but also to guys like yourselves waiting for the meeting to move on.
The last meeting at Moorebank, we were given 3 minutes between the last heat and the start of our heat to get onto the track and warm up, now that is even faster than most electric meets i've been to.
There are certain dynamics with a nitro powered vehicle that need the warm-up time, over 5 minutes is WAY TOO MUCH.

You electric guys are welcome to come along and find out how a real nitro car (not a toy tin top) works
