Thanks
1) If you're 100% serious about going to the worlds and qualify for your representative country, I'm sure the travel expenses and calendar dates will not be a major concern.


2) E-buggy is simply "too new" to be a worlds class. Heck, ROAR decided to combined the class with the current 10th scale nationals because of the lack participation from last years electric 1/8th nationals. Don't get me wrong I love E-buggy and I prefer it over my nitro car anyday, however the industry isn't pushing the class on a Pro/Major event level it seems like.
