Running stock class is a great way to compare driving skill rather than car
setups. It's also a fun way to race competitively for the sport of it all
with a car that doubles as a daily driver. Cars on trailers is also fine for
those who need the space or have other motives.
SP, P, and mod classes are cool too but the majority of class winning cars
are put together as barely street legal to full race and can only be enjoyed
on race day.
Sounds to me like you haven't considered the perspective of how and why this
sport has evolved. Amateur racing is very cool for all who enjoy it.
Sure you can dump a lot of money into a car in virtually any class or
participate at a very inexpensive budget too. Keep in mind that as far as
competition goes, more is always better and much more fun.
Consider fully the multitude of reasons why people race what they do and the
main reason why anyone would do this in the first place. You'll find that
it's for the thrill of it all.
