Class versus brackets winning a round

Interesting comments which pretty well point out that Most love the class challenge of making a vehicle with RULES go as quick as possible.
Some point out the weak point of having too many possible classes where yes you can be the worlds fastest but of 3 cars on earth very little hype or recognition. This seems to point out the BAD part of too many classes. A back door comment for combining classes or limited numbers of possible classes. Then at least the 20 guys in the country racing the same combo knows you are good if you win or set the record. Today who knows the names of the record holders? who cares unless its your class.. I only check dragster to see what my competitors ran in their races as a gauge of my performance.
We all see a win as a win but a high % appreciate class wins better. Then there is Jeff who seems to mis understand the poll intent as bringing down class. No it was pointed at showing the challenge of fastest car (of whatever form) drives most S and SS racers. Would making fewer classes and "forcing " a limited kind of cars or combinations add anything? to the greater good? of the Class racing by causing MORE of it? Class at Indy is the only true place enough current cars can enter at one time. What if an event with 80 entries in S or SS had 10 cars per class? Wherever you raced.
