Default Winter outdoor racing?

I’ve been thinking. Would people be up for an outdoor winter racing series? Nowadays with our lipo / brushless engineering masterpieces the weather is a large deterrent. However what I am proposing is to have a series with a few simple rules.

Rain does not stop play. The car should run at the designated time.
Only one car allowed for entry. (i.e you are not able to have a wet / dry car)

Its shouldn’t be much of a problem to get a car to be able to run in all weather conditions. Just pick up a cheap 4wd. Fit brushed motors and a waterproof esc, nicads and pop the receiver in a plastic bag / balloon. Simple job done.

The only other accessories would be a raincoat and a flask.. sorted ready for whatever the northern winter can throw at you.
It would be fun, plus racing in the wet will definitely sharpen up your skills.
whadduya think?
