Yes there were a couple of spots left in the country that were still getting decent foam WGT turnouts, but that is it. The first year WGT-R was at the US Indoor Champs in Cleveland, it was the third largest class behind TC Stock and 1/12th stock.

Being someone that travels to races all over the country on a frequent basis, there are multiple tracks that I go to where WGT-R is the largest class at the race. Yeah, we killed it.....
Rubber spec tires are always preferred over foams in any class, unless the speeds are crazy fast....
