Why can't we have both worlds, blinky for 2s, boosted for 1s?

Sean, go back and look at post #313. Then realize that 17.5 was identified by the motor manufactures to be the stock motor replacing the 27 turn and the idea that they were interested in slowing down the cars so new, unskilled drivers would have a place to get started were they wouldn't be overcome by technology or speed.
