Bring in the new blood from the legions of 10.5 heads up camps that would be more than willing to fill in the gaps left by the vacating current N.A. camps. Replace Pro Stock with 10.5 cars.
Yeah.....let em go , cry babies anyway.

The only problem with your resolution is that most 10.5 legends wouldn't be able to afford to go coast to coast with a national series. That is a big "what if" that you are suggesting. Replacing the millions of dollars of support that your talking about getting rid of is not an easy task. Even now, 10.5 and X275 are not nationally supported. 10.5 is pretty much only supported in the Northeast and Canada. X275 is pretty regional as well. When you have a vested group that have roots in a class like PS, you need to work with them not write them off which is why I think the change to occur needs to happen over 3-5yr span. It can't be knee-jerk or abrupt.
