Combine sticks & automatics

Oh boy, here we go again. Opening that same can of worms again. But, let me try opening the can from the other end. Let's look at it from a different prospective.

Do we agree that with the fewer classes we have, the more exciting / fun / intertesting eliminations would be? Wouldn't this make stock elim. more of a performance orientated class and less of just a bracket race?

I'm not familar with every combination. Just my own. The '73-'80 Chevy 350 in stock elim. However, I believe there must be other situations that are similar.

HP factor with automatic 287
HP factor with stick 275

H/SA index 12.45
H/S index 12.30

Difference in index 0.15

Difference in weight 138 lbs.

Doesn't that kind of equal out? So why have them in different classes?

Not right to run sticks and automatics together in class?
Why not, we do it in the Eliminator?
