2017 PRCP Summer Showdown Pingree ND

This is something we are trying. Price point, tighter racing and durability will make it easier for most to enjoy. For those that come out and race with us, 4x4 is starting back up so it's not a big deal to go this route off the bat. If you can handle the power, race 1/8th scale e buggy.

In my opinion, and that's all it is, it doesn't help them to lower the power available. It will still be the more experienced drivers winning. If winning is what's important? Drive sportsman. You shouldn't expect to buy a car and come compete with people that have been racing for years. That's just not reasonable. With that said it's important for the veterans to help new drivers learn that the sport is about having fun with friends. It's about doing your best. Of course it's great to win an A Main, but does that mean a close race in the B/C Main was any less fun?

It's all about having fun, I can agree and disagree with what Jon is saying, and limits on motors can get quite costly as looking for the latest, greatest motors and batteries can deter more than help, the veterans of the hobby seem to help, but they could help more, but that's my opinion and looking forward to going over and racing a time or two, just need better planning on my part.

Bottom line the numbers will speak for what people want. If you have 5 guys that want to run open I'm sure they would run an open class, I know we would never turn down 5 more entry fees. It will be interesting to see which classes are popular in the different areas of the state once the Pingree and Minot seasons start and if Fargo gets some racing put together.

Thats one thing I always wondered about as ND has alot of wide open spaces. I do see guys with these 1/5 buggies and SCTs from time to time and I have owned 2 of these, probably the only fuel based vehicles I would do these days lol.
But the track for sure would have to be oriented for them.
