Speed Cameras

Hi. I was thinking about Most Wanted lately and remembered a feature that is still not introduced in NFS SA server, but which is very possible to introduce. It also wasn't mentioned in roadmap (the "closest" thing was Carbon challenges, but yeah...), nor I remember any forum posts about it, so I decided to write it here.

So, as some of you remember, Need for Speed Most Wanted introduced several gamemodes with radars. One was SPEED TRAP, which actually already exists on server, one more was time-bound solo version of speed trap with slight changes and third one was actual "freerun" style competition, where you were supposed to find a single speed camera in FREERUN mode and pass by in front of it with AS HIGH speed as it's possible with your car. While passing by, game would show you a photo from radar with recorded car speed. If speed was high enough, camera would even have some sort of "interferences". And the more speed was, the harder your car was seen through it.

That was just prelude, now as for actual suggestion:
What if you placed somewhat 10 static cameras on the map and made it record top speeds of passers by? And then by the end of the week people who set a record would get a small bonus, like 200RP&200$ per camera record. It would be great if top speed records were shown at site, together with weekly track top time records, perhaps. 

I already predict A class cars taking all the cookies, so I also suggest dividing the cars by classes, as they are at the moment. With such dividing even newbie would have almost equal chances to set a record in his E class, while people on A class cars would be busy with equal rivals aswell. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find screenshot from that game type, nor I have MW installed atm, but if needed, I can install & show it to you.

IMPORTANT EDIT:
little something I forgot to mention, which includes fighting grinders:
1) Obviously, radars should be placed at locations which are difficult to access, or else we'll simply have all 3/3/3 stat cars holding the record from very first day.
2) No idea how many prize places are you going to keep, but if two people have same top speed at radar, then the person who gained this speed record FIRST, wins the reward.
3) Judging by previous statement, I already predict grinders who would get all the records in first day, right after speeds were reset, so what I suggest is doing ONE attempt per hour, perhaps? (I could even go with one attempt on camera per 24 hours, cause who knows)... Cause else these rewards might get out of control and give way too much cash and RP in same hands.

Pluses:
+More stuff to do at FREERUN.
+More ways to earn cash.
+More stats for people who likes to show off.

Minuses:
-No idea how hard would it be to make camera with actual interference effects.
-Might distract development team from something important, so I'd offer this suggestion as some far plan for roadmap.
-Might distract players from actual races?

So yeah, what do you guys think?

Well then, let's consider this as ADVANCED version, with the way I see it, I guess...

as the acceleration is kinda weird in GTASA, having one speed cameras per record is kinda hard to manage.
I'd prefer a set of cameras so they'll be more variables.
i.e. Canyon section at Missionary Hill, either side have 4 cameras, and one single record is calculated for total speed of 4 cameras.

It would just like a normal speedtrap races then, except it's on freerun, which is kinda pointless to add. I prefer only having one but it's placed on such place that you can't just rely on your car's performance to reach the speed target.

Almost one year ago I suggested to Quindo freerun speed cameras and billboards. Done like in NFS MW 2012 with rankings could be something interesting, I guess.
