Separate classes or not, the series still has the potential to draw racers in. I built my integra b/c I wanted to race in honda challenge, and I'm sure it was a big draw for many other racers - certainly for the H1-H2 racers.
I think for H4 and H5 guys part of the draw is having a lot of places where they can race. Its kind of like how if you were looking at buying a MiniDisc or CD player a few years ago, you'd go for the CD player because you could play the CD's in a lot of different places.
In another way this is a problem for World Challenge Touring guys. Those cars can't fit into any classes elsewhere (in club racing) so it puts a HUGE hurt on the resale value of the cars after they become ineligible for the series. Of course that's a big messy complex problem but I just wanted to use that to show the negative effect of having only one place to race a particular car.
