Class consolidation? Revisit

Now that qualifiers are in the eliminator regardless of winning class it makes no difference if you are Slow man in class but fast enough or fast man in class and getting in eliminations.
With that condition in place what difference does it make how many classes are present? Fewer classes makes for more cars per class at nationals everywhere, not just INDY. Sure some more % of hitting a heads up in eliminations be most report a very low % now so maybe not much different.
Result, possible less money for sponsors by NUMBER of classes maybe they could pay some % MORE per class win. NHRA might see more people watching CLASS more places. Maybe more races without BYE run classes so people RACE more.
