I wasn't planning on it. If enough racers request it, I will of coarse add the class. I doubt a modified 2wd would be any faster than a 10.5 anyway on our track.

The classes offered are the popular classes in the region based on the weekly race results of the various tracks. Just trying to keep the classes filled for better competition and a more efficient race program.

Really ??? It's not about the motor it's about the skill !! I don't think 19 t guys wanna run with Schlick and the lir mod crew !

I also think you got I backwards in this way of thinking. I have done quite a bit of traveling and if it's a simple way to keep the classes filled for better competition and a more efficient race program you Should do it the way everyother track does and have it a open mod class.

I'll race my 10.5 powered buggy in Mod Buggy with you guys I did it the last time I was up at LIR, Kyle ran a 10.5 powered 2wd to 3rd place against the LIR crew, that last time you guys came down.

We're not scared.... Bring it!!!

I have both a 10.5 and other mod motors, so I don't really care either way. Looking forward to this one!
