I'm slightly younger than some of you gentlemen, but I can still see the appeal of some of those cars, especially the Banshee, Marauder and Asp, they are beautiful shapes.
And as a pure racer - why not? Already some of the RTR makers are making 'racing' cars - lightweight, less detail, uprated motors etc. These are just a logical progression (or regression, or history repeating itself!).
As Doc P says, as long as clubs and/or commercial raceways run them as another class rather than the only class, I don't see why they would 'damage the hobby'.
And I'm sure that some of the Le Mans racers from the last ten years or so (MacLaren F1, GT1-98, R390 etc) would make the basis for some great 'thingies'.
