Probably not a popular response on this site, but we need to do something before the Classes no longer exist.
Now is the time to get some fresh ideas out there. Monitoring every car, every pass is not going to continue in my opinion, this is just one of many options to consider.

You are correct, it won't be a popular post, but ending "heads up" runs during the eliminator may be the only way to keep the classes around. As it is now, the exotic items that have crept in have made some folks drop out, and it is clear that the faster cars have a big advantage or there wouldn't be so many recently built.
Around my house there used to be more 442's than Oldsmobile built, but now it is the 396/427 Camaro at NHRA races which vastly out pace production. Alas, the lowly forgotten Vega...
