Just an idea to combine classes.

JRyan,
It is interesting someone always comes up with a point of fear that no one will be able to play if the classes were combined, no one would come to race, No new racers would build cars.
You and others act as if Combining classes is an Alternative to Eliminations. If you fall in a class with 10 cars tomorrow intead of 2 cars today , no one says you are not elgible for eliminations if you qualify JUST LIKE TODAY. But NHRA has a car count showing up at meets with greater numbers of same class to make the "show".(Fewer BYE run classes)
Making Class racing a bigger part of the racing can just give more fun as TOP/STK, TOP/SS do. Most who ran this declare it to be " the most fun I have had in years"
It is Just combined classes and stick and Auto HEADS up. An example of Combined classes for more "racing"
My opinion from Being in Bigger classes all my life and organizing TOP/STK and TOP/SS in Div 3 . It may return when larger numbers of cars to fit are available.
