Mood: the rain in spain falls mainly on me!
as far am i'm concerned this is meant as a stepping stone on from trackdays so very much for virgin racers to dip their toes in therefore cost is obviously an issue. the cheaper it is the more people will be interested and the more likely it will be a success. same goes for bike spec. i will try to give it a go whatever the rules but their is clearly more incentive the more equal the bikes can be. no matter how much someone says "i dont mind coming last" "just want to out there" etc,
it will clearly be somewhat disconcerting going out there spending a fair bit of money knowing you're going to get you arse kicked every meeting.
imho make it as close to standard as posssible as said by others one model, cans and rearset etc if wanted. everything else bog standard.

image the thrill a virgin racer (like myself) would have if he had a genuine chance of a top ten finish in a race or dare i say it a podium.
