Southport RCC used to run a 19t "spec" class.
The average lap times for the top drivers around our track with a 19t in a 2wd was around 26 seconds. 4 seconds slower than when they are running 9t silly motors, so they are not exactly slow.
The series was well attended and popular with the club members until the "brushless revolution". Nobody runs that class anymore!
All that happens when you introduce a limited class, such as stock class, is that the cost of racing goes up as people who are taking part look for that extra edge over the competition.
