At Cornwall RC Racing we welcome all types of Buggy, Truggy & Truck, weather they are powered by a Nitro engine or an electric motor. All 1/8 and some of the larger 1/10 trucks will compete in the same class, although the computer will automaticly separate the vehicles into diffrent classes acording to there performance once they have been running and put some timed laps in.
When racing, Heats will be of a 5 minute duration, with a 10 minute final at the end of the day.
In the 10 minute finals, Brushless buggies that have a battery life of over 10 minutes are required to do a simulated pit stop, (a 3 second Stop and Go in the pit lane) to keep a level playing field with the Ntro buggies that have to do a refueling stop.

I'm sure some 1/8 nitro buggies used to do 10mins on 1 tank.. Why not have 7min heats and 15min final

Well a lot of badly tuned buggies struggle to get more than 6 minutes out of a tank, so 7 would be pushing it.

I think the 5min heats are a great starting point. It will give other racers a gentle learning curve to racing. Some of us have learnt to race tune an engine to go at least 12mins run time, but I met some guys out this year who have never touched the needles before.
At least with the 5/10 rule, everyone gets to enjoy and complete a race.

Wouldn't the 15 minute final be beyond the reach of most brushless buggies?

It would be fun to watch the pit stops.
