and here is the results from open class, nitro vs electric.......... definitely not the BL domination the fanboys on this forum would have you believe it is...... Yes I sell nitro, yes I prefer nitro....but when you guys start flapping how nitro has no place on a track next to electric it kinda pisses me off, especially when its the nitros usually showing the best track performance.....I am not being a fanboy, just saying what the reality is when you actually do go to the races.........
Half a second per lap? This is your evidence? After people have been setting up nitro buggies for 20 years plus, they can only pull half a second a lap on the relatively new electrics on a 45 second track?? This is your data showing that nitro is faster?
Even if you take the two best laps...(removing anomalies, that 37 and the 40 second laps, must have been due to marshalling) the difference between the best laps is still barely a second. So, in the best case scenario, electric is at worst 2% slower.
Add to that that the nitros run longer and have more chances to get a better single lap and you can all but remove the difference. Give the electrics a couple more years of learning setups and they'll be equal or faster.
Looks to me like the difference on track is negligible, no?
and please also remind me where anyone has said nitro has no place on a track? Or anything even remotely like that?
