Just an idea to combine classes.

I've qualified number 1 with every car I've raced. So don't tell me I don't work hard.

Wow! sorry you take this discussion so personally. You should be proud to be capable of running #1. You have chosen a good combination.. You are entitled to be pleased with getting a trophy for attending in your class. With consolidation maybe someone could be at the same events you attend too.
My history is somewhat different. I have about 40 Class trophies and One Points meet Trophy. I have been in the top 5 in Div 3 points several times only based on eliminator points. One of my class trophies is for a bye run. It looks the same but it is not as sweet.
One year I won my Class over a minimum of 4 cars at 6 events including Indy and Gainesville. Once we towed back to Gainesville after a rain out to win class after narrowing the class from over 10 cars. Same type of cars , heavily factored and Excellent racers from both Coasts. Actually several record holders. My Point is there are TWO points of view on what Racing at a NHRA event is about. Bracket racing or Class racing . I feel Strongly both can and should remain equally important . If someone choses one area so be it. The fact no one shows in a class indicates maybe there are too many classes to populate with racers. If Drag racing in Stk and SS started with classes as the form of racing and Dial in was developed to allow handicaping of Class Winners Both should remain important forms of our "SHOW"
Thanks
