Whether the nitro lads want electric involved or not is irelevant really although I know what you mean Mark.
If 8th electric has a following then all you need is for someone to stand tall and lead the revolution.
Nitro rallycross is awesome, the guys that I have raced with over the years are some of the best people ive ever met, but if they are not interested in electric it doesnt mean that someone else couldnt take it forwards....
It aint hard to start a new section for a new scale/class
