Keep the Foam Stock Class as is(27t handouts and NiMH only).
An added Rubber Stock Class with mixed 13.5/27T motors and NiMH/LiPO battery choices would be sweet!
Just tech the minimum weight for all cars as usual to help keep things even.
The added torque of the BL motor really shows while running foams due to the rediculous amount of forward bite you have on carpet with foam tires. On the otherhand, the difference isn't as big on rubber tires due to the reduced amount of forward bite. This would make for some close racing between BL and Brushed on rubber tires.

Touring oval was won with a corally assassin with a hyperdrive LTO conversion, he helped me with my car and we were talkin' about it. Good luck finding a assassin though, corally discontinued them and finding a used one is like finding chicken teeth.....just ain't gonna happen.
