Officially we can't have nitros due to the noise. A few used to bash on the old track, but thats quite different from a 6 hr racing meeting with dozens of them all at the same time.
Electric 1/8th is permitted, and we have had them at the old track. Matt, Buds, Johnny and Jony Nitro all had them, but there were a few issues:
1) Marshalling. Those things are big and heavy. Its dangerous marshalling them. Given the number of kids at our track, 1/8ths introduce safety concerns
2) Numbers. They really have be run in their own heat, or at most with the SC Trucks. The size and weight means that mixing it with 1/10ths just caused breakages to the 1/10ths. That means 4-5 minimum are needed.
3) Interest. All the people who raced 1/8th with us also had 1/10ths. It generated exactly no new interest - all it did was detract from 1/10th.
