DEFINATELY check out what has a bigger showing at your local track
i didnt do this when i got into racing and went straight to a truggy and regretted it after my first race when i was the only truggy that showed up and there were 26 buggy entries, fortunately they let me run with the buggies but it wasnt nearly as much fun as it could have been if i had a buggy
it didnt take me long to realize either how expensive it was, every other weekend i was getting two new sets of tires and it added up quick at 80 bucks for 4
just my $0.02
