First off let me say that I think the concept of the Truggy is a great one and am considering buying one. However, since Truggies have far more in common with buggies and are turning times as good or better than buggies they need to run with the buggies when there is not enough of them for their own race.
They should not be lumped in with the Standard MT's who don't stand a chance. It's the equivilent of Pro Strockers vs. Funny Cars. They look a lot alike but we all know who has the decided advantage. It kills the fun going into a race knowing I don't stand a chance against an experienced buggy racer racing a Truggy.
Some might say, "well, these are just club races and are for fun". Well, guess what? Most of us only race in club races so these need to be the training ground for the big ROAR races. That's why I travel 2.5-3 hours every weekend to race. Please try to remember that a democracy protects the rights of the minority as well as the majority. I'm very competitive and have a HUGE amount of money invested in my Revo. Even the best PRO Revo drivers are only turning in times that would put them in the middle of the pack at the Pro Series races inthe Unlimited MT class. If they can't win what hopes do I have?!!!!
I don't want to penalize the Truggy guys, I just want a fair playing field and the hope of winning with the only reason for my losing being my driving ability.
