Default SWIRC 'classic'

I've seen other places who do have 2 or 3 divisions based on year, however, that's probably only necessary if it gets really busy! Probably more immediately helpful would be some sort of motor limit/guidelines. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not really interested in a vintage class because I want to win, but rather want an excuse to have some fun racing these great old cars around the track! The modern 2wd would be the class to enter otherwise.

As a starter, perhaps cars *designed* before 2000? This allows for vintage and classic re-re models. Perhaps a stock level motor... 17.5T or equivalent. I've currently got a Reedy 3300kv in the RC10, but don't know the turn rating - it's not that quick, it's the standard brushless motor AE put in their RTRs. I have had a brushed Tamiya RS540 sport tuned (23T) in it too, but it's a pain because I then have to carry NiMH as well as LiPo, but do-able if necessary.

Further thoughts welcome!
