I guess you only like racing with about 20-25 guys then, instead of 50+?

I and a few others will never run foam spec tires. I will shelf the car and go to something else before I do that. And this is from a racer for over 30 years.

I would actually be more interested in seeing a separate 1/12th class using rubber or spec-foam tires instead, maybe a 21.5 rookie type thing. The class at the Classic with the different bodies looked cool and fun for someone getting into it.

Just leave the existing foam tired classes alone, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by going spec. You still 1 run the tires, so no cost help. You still cut the tires down to nothing, even more so with the new carpet. And the mystery compound complaint really only happens in asphalt.
