Since u r relatively new to r/c, lemme make a suggestion...... y not consider the O.S. .21 VG. It's definitely less powerful than any other engine suggested above. But it will be easier to control. The indoor clay track is relatively tight/low speed except for the back straight so top speed diff between the V-Spec and the VG won't be terribly noticable. There will be less wheelspin as you learn throttle control and u'll stay out of the wall and off the tubes. And u **might** actually be faster on the clock right now..... And it's **only** around $150 which will leave you $350 to get an outdoor season motor with "more legs" when ur ready.
I have 6 gallons on mine right now and it is extremely reliable.
