If you do have to make changes to the rules, get a general agreement to any changes from the racers that are racing and supporting the class regularly, not the fly-by-night racers that are looking to mold the class to what they want, then once the train wreck has happened, they walk away from the class while leaving you to clean up the rubble.
SO SO true.
What bodies are you going with? that may be a way to get more exposure maybe go with something more realistic looking. DAytona prototype, scale LM (962's) I am sucker for scale looking cars. AS said before you gotta stick to your guns and roll with it, try and get some exhibition runs at some national events and let the top drivers race against each other for bragging rights. IMO foam tires are cheap and make the driving experience much easier. Handout tires with no truing allowed may help with that. I have the same dream but would like a new gen F1 replica class!
As far as production goes i can help with some things I have my own CNC machines.
