Especially if you want to travel at all. If you have many friends at the track, the chances are they will also be running nitro, and likely in the A main along with you...so who is left to be pit Bi%$^?

With E-scale, you can race with your friends and not split up your classes so you always have a pit man, you can travel by yourself to other tracks and not worry about finding a competent pit man, you have a far less maintenance prone vehicle, you don't need to have a supply line for fuel, and you can actually talk to your friends on the stand and not just hear the constant noise of nitro....

Not to mention the cancer sauna that nitro racing creates...especially indoors.

Oh, and did I mention far more power?

I miss Nitro from time to time, but after pitting for someone for an hour long main.....I remember in short order why I ditched that crap. Electric is the far more intelligent route these days
