There are many discriminating racers in my area who have deep pockets, these guys will replace their nitro engines every 3 months to stay competitive... my biggest peeve is marshaling for the guys running on a tight budget who haven't replaced their motor in a while and they have to stay on the throttle so they don't flame out, then they get pissed because I refuse to marshal their car until they hit the brake. All I have to say is that if you're gonna run nitro, then it's your responsibility to take proper care of your equipment, don't blame the marshal because you wrecked and don't blame the marshal if you can't properly tune your engine not to flame out when you hit the brake. If I bend over to flip your car and you hit the throttle to blow dirt in my eyes, then don't get upset when I use my feet to kick your car over in the future because you can't be trusted.

To all the nitro drivers who take proper care of their equipment and hit the brake when their car is being marshaled, thank you!
