I will update this once more of the details are known.

I haven't heard of any class changes so those should be good.

I'm fairly certain the 4wd Classic class is 1995 or earlier, but no matter...basically anything pre-XX4.

Also, for 4wd buggy, you can run a 4wd Classic if you want to (but with a 10.5 for the class). Erich has allowed that. It's just that a lot of those older buggies don't hold a candle to the XX4. The CAT 2000 and the '94/'95 YZ10 are the only "Classic" 4wd buggies that are competitive with the XX4, at least based on my experience.
