I agree too many classes blow....take it back old school. Stock or mod or GTFO!

LMK if the loop is still available. I want to do some testing with one.

18 ga speaker wire will work as a loop as long as you have the AMB decoder.

I agree with a stock and mod class... but I don't know what stock should be. 13.5 no boost, 17.5 no boost, 17.5 with boost?

I enjoy racing enough guys to fill out an A, B, and close to a C main.

I bet if a lot of the guys running a boosted 13.5 threw a Mod motor in for a night they would feel like they are more in control of their car and would enjoy 2whl drive even more.

It took me a few weeks to give in to mod, but I don't think ill ever run a timing advanced 13.5 unless I'm forced to, the power band is harsh and somewhat unpredictable.

Your geniusness worries me. I can see you figuring a way for your PT to minus 5 seconds from every lap.

I honestly don't care what class I'm in . I plan on running a 13.5 w.o boost until I get used to 2wd buggy .if I'm in mod so be it .

I agree with this as well. It's nice however to know roughly how far you are behind the fast guys because of driving and how far you are behind because of power (combined with driving of course.) I like 2wd prolite for that reason. Not wanting to add another main makes sense though too for additional time reasons. FF is just too damn popular, what can we say!

You just validated what my intention was... If you can't purchase them anymore your buying very outdated equipment.

Thus the reason I would say "no thanks"

The point of house transponders is to allow novices to experience racing without making a $105 dollar investment. They are outdated only because Amb stopped making them. Not because they are technologically outdated. Every track in arizona would have them if they were still prouced. Of course you know all this already since you've been racing for 2 weeks.

I noticed you Just recently had to purchase a personal.. most novices aren't ready for that commitment. And keeping novices racing is What will benefit all tracks inthe state
Is this secretly yotiekillin?

Typically used in the novice classes by those who can't afford, or justify, the purchase of a personal transponder.
