I bet cleaned up that is a great looking track.
Nitro is a ton of fun, the learning curve is a bit steep but they’re getting better all the time. Much easier now than it was 20 years ago. Just don’t buy a cheap/used motor. Buy a decent motor from the get go (not high priced as you will kill it early learning) but a nice lower end OS or Reds or nova. They will be much easier than a cheap 100 dollar nitro motor with a finicky carb but not so expensive when you smoke it you’re heart broken. 200-250 bucks will get you in a usable motor than you can learn on without pulling your hair out.
