What is the Most diverse class in stock eliminator?

I guess the joy of finding a combination which is overlooked by NHRA and fellow competitors can be rewarding. Just seems in some ways a different challenge than building the quickest (fill in name of car or motor)in a class where most are the same.
Billy my true reward in SS was running the same Camaro BBC in GT/AA as everyone else and winning CLASS, heads up , no Break out in affect. At that time the rectangular port 454 and the oval port 454 were very close in et, MPH and it took a combination of Engine, Trans, Chassis, and Driver to win class. Then diversity came into the class. Congrats to the tech manual guys who found the added motors to use and the rule change to allow BBC in a FWD car as a California racer hoped so the low hp motors could enter the class.
Now many combinations are "competitive". Some are also ran. Luckily most of the "olde guys" had moved on, retired or just stopped racing.
