Just an idea to combine classes.

Billy, Good Thoughts. I agree with X-Tech When I discussed this type of thing it was threatening. But it could be best for all parties in the long run. NHRA needs to make it worth while to run fast. Points for class wins, Points for Records, that affect a HP of a combination then pushing it to Win class would be some gain.
Sticks + Auto , GT and SS together with wt break for SS car against GT chassis 50 lb light?
With having more class racing more often possible by having more of a certain class at events NHRA could have class which would be meaningful not Bye Runs for trophy taking a 1/2 day of event time.
I honestly think some Manufacturers could be coaxed to pay class more often if there were only 1/2 the classes to pay or fewer..
For those slower in a class there is still eliminator if you run Quick enough to Qualify so you only have More runs at the meet with class to run too.
