It's fun as heck too, anyone thinking about running a 17.5 in your 2wd buggy, go for it, you'll learn a lot and it's an easier transition into a faster class....

I support Mark's initial premise to start a 17.5 buggy & SC class for the guys that are not THAT fast & who want to drive that class. Then leave mod buggy & mod SC to the guys who are quick & who can handle it. I for one tend not to drive 2wd & 4wd buggy or mod ST because I recognize that I am usually in the way of Alex, Mark, John B, Fraz, Larry, Tom, Boomer etc. I would rather drive a 17.5 2wd buggy &/or SC with or without boost. I have the SC & buggy ready to go if other guys want to join "Joe B Main" in those classes. Then, maybe some day if I progress to the point of consistantly performing better I would venture into a mod class with the fast guys. Maybe that's why currently I enjoy the vintage events sooo much... the 17.5 speed just is a good match with my abilities.
