This is probably the best investment I have made in a long time. I think I even sold about 6 of them from all the people who came by to check it out.

If your on the fence about getting one of these, spend the money and get one. It's money well spent.
Same here....had a race yesterday in high 30's, with a slight drizzle all during the first heat (the rain started coming down heavy after we finished round 1 and we had to call it a day, but that's another story).....

When I got to the track and got set up, I put my heater on, and just went about my business of helping with registration, goofing off, etc... I could hear guys all around struggling to get their motors fired up for practice. When I had a few minutes, and wanted to burn a tank to make sure the truggy was right, one quick little bump and mine was purring like a kitten.

I even had one of the local pros come over and ask to borrow my heater. He said his motor is a bear to fire up when it's cold, no problem when using the heater....hopefully, we got another convert yesterday.

Heck, I even found a another good use.....my fingers were freezing at one point, even with my marshalling gloves on, so I just grabbed the heater while it was on my motor. Got my fingers toasty warm in no time!
