Nope, no nitro at SoCal, it's really quiet in there even with a ton of mod buggies on the track. It was funny, when I dragged my Ofna out there for the first time, everyone was eyeing me, then I just plug it in and bomb around and heard "Hey, that thing's electric!" A few minutes later, MetalMan busted his out, and there were 2 giants on the track menacing the little cars, and people got even more excited "Now there's two of them!"
