Unfortunately, that philosophy will increase the generic nature of
autocrossing. Neons in D, Miatas in B, Celicas in E, etc. Why not
take a little time annually and move the cars that most people can
agree could benefit from the move without becoming class killers,
e.g. SVOs, Conquests, Supra Turbos (ooops, where'd THAT come
from?), Alfas, RX-7s.......
Some of the best cars may be old (ahem, vintage) and/or rare, why
bury them when they might have a chance at the local or regional
level in a slower (more appropriate) class?
All IMO,
