We've actually run a mixed race once before and over a lap the difference between a TC and buggy in the hands of evenly matched drivers is very little if at all. Buggies blast the straight while TC's are more nimble in the corners.
I think its worth trying this in the first instance if we need to, if it doesnt work we can then look to run 4 heats, would be a shame to loose a round if we dont need to, one option to get 5 rounds of 4 heats would be to reduce the gap between races but use alternate marshalling, i.e. you will always be free the race after and before your own which should make things less hectic as both marshalls and drivers should in theory have time to be ready
