Here is an idea that I want many of you to think about. Since we now have so many of the 1/8th scale buggy-type touring cars, how about doing it as a LeMans-type series. You can have all the Spec cars running together but score them in their individual classes (ie: IGT, IGT2, DM-Spec, Ultra GT, Ultra GT2, etc). All the cars would have to be out-the-box stock with the exception of radio upgrades, shock/diff oil changes, and tire upgrades (no foams). Then you can have a GT class where all the cars are treated equally because this would be the class where you can mod your car to the max (ie: engine change, hop-ups galore, etc). This way, you will not be excluding a brand/manufacturer and this will allow racers that may not like Kyosho to buy the brand they are more comfortable/familiar to running.
