Why is everyone so down on this event just because nitro is gone? I don't know the logistics involved, but is an e-conversion possible so you can compete at the next Motorama?
Look at it this way, we'll all be running together on a HUGE track in clean air.
I just hope I can make it since my first time there, last year, was a blast for me on the electric side. I thought THHRC did a fine job, despite circumstances beyond their control.
Ok nitro lovers, bring on the hatred toward me for saying the above

I feel sorry for those of you who only run nitro and will not be able to run at motorama. No one likes to loose a place to race. I for one, (running 1/8 electric) would not attend the Motorama event due to the smoke and I'm sure I'm not alone. I did not complain, I just didn't race. Racers like me will surely offset (at least partially) the number or racers that will not attend due to running nitro only. Therefore, many of us are now gaining a place to race!!! I'm certain the event will still be a huge success!!!

Does anyone know the entries percentage nitro vs electric entries?? just curious......was it like nitro 3/4 of the total entries??
Without the nitro part everyone looses! How long do you think they will have the event only with electric? It's only a matter of time until they pull the "plug" on the electric side.......

Motorama was a very successful electric venue long before the nitro cars hit the track. I do not imagine that the loss of nitro will kill the entire porgram.

Move Electric into the arena area and put Nitro in a tent outside. Would solve the fumes problem and give electric a bigger track. The rock crawlers could get bigger and some people wanted to do a RC tractor pull too.

Nitros an cold don't mix well...now a 5th scale racing outside ...now your talk-n...
Either way doesnt matter R/C's not supported vary well at this event anyways...need a eastcoast r/c-rama...like a RCX event ...somewhere the vendors and manufactures can give support ..

I'm surprised Motorama never included on-road carpet racing to the event. It would bring in a whole other rc community to the event.

Hell Motorama honestly don't need R/C even their as they will just fill it with another motor sport of some sort and never miss a beat.
