On my last trip home to San Diego I hit just about every LHS I could find to stock up on spares, tools and other supplies.

What shocked me was the total lack of high end stuff. When I asked, their reply was that there were no more race tracks around. If someone had a track in San Diego, it was someone's private back yard track, nothing really open to the public.

Don't think it's a lack of interest in buggies, think it's more the sign of the times, i.e. money too tight to mention, etc.

Agree with you about the buggy v truggy point about being able to handle rougher terrain though.
