Ok I Bought This Truck From A Friend At Work For 125 (ITS THE RTR GT PLUS) I Plan On Getting A 1/8th Monster Truck To Race But Thought This Would Be A Cheap And Easy Way To Get Use To A Nitro Car. My First Question Is (these Will All Seem Dumb I'm Sure) Do I Need Some Body To Hold My Car Before The Start Of A Race? In The Magazines I Always See Them Held Before They Start. Next Is Are They Or Can They Be Raced Durring The Winter Indoors? And One More Is There Any Thing Going On Ether Tomarrow Friday The 3rd Or Sat 4th. It Has A Few Broken Parts But I Plain To Take Care Of Them Tonight. Thanks For Any Help

As for pit guys holding the truck for the start...it's best if you have someone do it for you because you can keep the engine cleared out by revving it until it's time to race. I did see a truck or two without a pitman just line up and go. If you know you can idle for 15-30 seconds and still get off the line ok, you could run with out one. If you don't have one, and make the mains, just ask some to help get you started...they will. Everyone is helpful. Don't be afraid to ask a racer from another class. He should have time if he isn't fixing a broken truck. The mains will be the only time you will have to worry about it, because the qual's are rolling starts straight from warmup laps.
