I've never understood the speed limit either. I've always assumed that 17 holds some significance with the 'Caps, but can't think of what, exactly.

I just did some research on this. It looks like people post these odd numbers because it gets peoples attention and they are more likely to remember and abide by them if it's a number that sticks out.

Well that's anticlimactic. Over the past few summers I've spent way too much time at the ballpark, mainly because of some of my friends, so I was beginning to get frustrated as to why I couldn't figure out why 17 was the speed limit.

And here I thought it was because Old Man Dithers was trying to run everybody out so he could sell the oil rights.
Now that that mystery is solved...
When will we see Paintball Gauntlet 2 ?

He'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids.
