Even better, when can they be properly moved to a regular class?

I'd be OK with that. Can we combine the Sticks and Automatics at the same time?

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of one pound weight breaks.

Is it one pound with Sticks and Autos combined? From I/S down there's the same or less participation than in the FWD classes.
Based on indexes, a FWD combo would need between a 3 and 4 pound weight break.

Actually, I think one pound weight breaks with FWD rolled into appropriate classes is a big enough step to start with. That's a substantial reduction in the number of classes, and should result in plenty of heads up runs on its own.

I absolutely agree but at the same time it would be much less controversial to combine Sticks and Autos at one pound (different HP factors) than it would be to combine FWDs because the FWDs would need a serious HP/weight factor break. Although I wouldn't mind seeing it. It sure would "tighten" things up and stop a lot of the sandbagging.
