Nitro racing in Ottawa was once a very popular form of racing in Ottawa. After a 3 year hiatus a group of RCO racers wanted to bring back the noise! We wanted to take away the high cost and commitment of time to allow for fun racing. No longer will you need to invest 1000$ Plus and a 12hour day on the weekend to go racing and be competitive. With SPEC nitro your total investment will be under 450$ and you will not get beat on the track by anything other then a better driver. The no hop ups approach will keep costs down for beginners and seasoned vets. The evening race format will allow racers to come out after work and race till it gets dark. Freeing up weekends for other activities Track time will be equal for all racers A, B or C mains will all be the same length and qualifying will be a new relaxed format that will ensure you can qualify to the best of your ability without worrying about one crash costing you a grid spot.
So how do we keep costs down? We have chosen the very affordable and well equipped RTR Nitro RS4 3 EVO to be the back bone of the series. The car is widely available as well are replacement parts. Buying and maintaining the car will be very affordable. And since everyone in the series will run the same car very rarely would someone have to DNF or DNS a the track.
