In fairness we had this in 12th scale years ago. Gear to run six minutes, drive it to make eight. Push someone at the start to go out and dump at the end. That was fun. My only concern nowadays... Getting guys to run 8 minutes wasn't a problem. When I think of a raceday with all 20 minute mains, sounds like a lot. I know it's done already, but seems like a looooooong time to wait. With the "instant gratification" and lack of patience in today's world, I feel as though there's a point where it can go "too far", if that makes sense....
