If that turned out to be the norm at enough events in a season, within the next couple years there would probably wind up being 2 cars in each of those few classes and the sanctioning body would drop the eliminator for lack of participation.

While today there may be a lot of classes with some only having a few cars each, there is a lot of participation overall. That fact alone keeps Stock and S/S the popular eliminators that they are. Numbers overall not numbers per class are what has kept Stock and S/S alive all these many years. If you do not believe that, just look at the eliminators that have priced themselves almost into oblivion in the name of performance. It is overall numbers that those who run any business look at......including those in charge of drag racing sanctioning bodies.
