Don't necessarily pigeon hole yourself. We all know an Xray will be great. I wouldn't take it and run a big butt mod motor in it on Strictly's track, right off the bat.
Me and the boys are experimenting with all kinds of different cars right now. So far, for on road sedans, we have personally run these:
M18, bone stock
M18, mamba/Lipo
Bud's Supercar
HPI Micro RS4
Mini-z
Recoil
Carisma
For right out of the box stock the Recoil is perfect. Albeit a 1/14th scale, it's really fun.
I really want to try a Robotronic's Scalpel. The hobbyshop has a few coming in today or tomorrow. I think bone stock will be the class to run with it.
If any of you are interested in who/what/why/if's about 1/18th scale vehicles and the like rctech.net has a good forum. Check it out:

Also...if any of you get around and see Nick Smrt, I know he goes to Leisure regularly, he's pretty knowledgeable about many things 1/18th scale. Another really knowledgeable person in 1/18th scale is Ron at Duneland Hobbies.
So far there will only be four places to race 1/18th scale around chicagoland:
leisure, His and Her's, Duneland Hobbies, and the new StrictlyRC
I think some discussion will happen between Duneland and Strictly about forming some standards about racing classes. Having vehicle standards will make it better for racers that want to travel around to race so that everyone's cars are compatiable.
