If the host track were so inclined, you could also allow 27t stocks in with the 7.4v LiPos. Outdoor rules are still a heavy gray area at the moment, and are really left to the track to decide what is best for them. Keep in mind, our formula will always be, "slower is better."
We are very much on the same level and the interest we have in this class is b/c it is drivers race, not a money race. We want to slow it down and take the importance off the equipment and put it back on the driver. Good lines and good laps.
there will always be those that complain that there are too many rules, or they aren't fast enough. I am not picking at you just trying to guage a balancing point for outdoor vintage...much like your indoor 4 cell rule allowed any chassis to be some what competitive.
