When I was at the Hobby shop last nigh there was a good lil discussion going on between Jim and myself and a few others about this.

And it seemed the general oppinion was:

Make a stock class that would attract the normal stock runners or people who want to run that class (27T Brushed, ROAR spec stock).

Make a 19T class if there eventually is enough to suport it.

Make a mod/open class which would include all brushless and all Mods.

To me its more about making something thats able to be understood clearly. When someone says "stock" they think 27T, Brushed, ROAR spec. Its simple, widely understood, and reasonable. Al;so this break down in classes fits most tracks and most normal conventions on how classes are done. Making it easier to understand and work with.

Putting all brushless in the "Open" class also seems reasonable from the stand point that no differentiation would need to be made about Novak brushless or Hacker or Lehner or 4300 or 5800, stock or unlimited.

To me the classes should be as simple and clear as possible, the more complex they become wiht the more exceptions they have the more confusion there will be. Theres no fun in race day confusion or class changes.
