Since Joe mentioned it here, I figured I'd better go ahead and post the car here, too (also on MNOP)
I made an outlaw car that ran its front wheels in the center channel. In the first part of this video, you can see two problems inherent in running in the channel: 1) at the start, my car ran the risk of getting held up a little in the slot the pins fall into (I'm uncertain if this had an effect or not). 2) One of the sensor holes at the end of the track made my car jump hard.

As I recall it, my outlaw car, the Buzzsaw, weighed 7.5 oz.. My son's car weighed 14oz.
After that first run, it set or beat the track record the next three runs. However, that first run was botched enough that my son took the win.

How about a two-wheeled class that runs down the Center Lane trough of each lane could be interesting. Stop section would still be a problem but it would be fun to see.I made an outlaw car that ran its front wheels in the center channel.
