From my understanding, the SRAC was asked about adding FS/AAA in a meeting and it was a unanimous "No" from the SRAC members. Then, less than a month later the new class is announced.

What is next after these classes for the evolution of "stock" eliminator?

I can tell you why FS/AAA was added. The chassis cert is only good to 3600 pounds. This year, some jerkoff got the combination hit, again, and now the min weight in FS/AA is 3590. If one does the math, that only leaves a ten pound cushion. So another hit, and the car would not be legal for stock, anymore.
