For those of you that have been to PBR Hobbies, this is a video of the new layout. Im running a non boosted 17.5t in my t4.2. This should give you an idea of what kinda speed/rhythm the track has to offer.

I can't speak for everyone but among those us from "up north" that might consider making a day trip down to race, 2w Mod buggy is the primary class for many of us and I understand it's mostly stock down there. Looking ahead to a possible inclusion in a possible 14-15 I-5 series might be something for you guys to try to aim for as well.

Most do seem stock. Im running a 10.5 but picked up a 13.5 for the endurance race.ill be moving to portland in a few months and hope most of everyone runs mod too. My a.d.d. isnt slow enough for 17.5. I want the power there if and when needed.
Please explain the I-5 series. I have a guess but would like to know how it works.

Yes as chase said, most ppl do run 17.5 and the track, but it is a open class at our track, so mod motor cars are more then welcome to race. I run a 13.5t in my b4.2, and am normally in the top 5, but hardly get the win against the 17.5 cars. Its very close racing on this track. I encourage ppl to show up and race no matter what they are running. I dont think there would be anyone that makes a big deal over getting beat by a mod motor, we would just be happy to see some new drivers at the track.
