Do you have any examples of this?
It sounds like you're saying this: within the confines of a local region,
where prize money is non-existent, as is national fame, such a class, like
OSP works. It attracts those who like tweaking their cars, but who possibly
don't have "national" aspirations.
But in the context of a national competition which is likely to attract
those of a more "serious" persuasion, perhaps those with more money might be
tempted to run in such a class, and since the rules are unlimited, they'd be
able to spend whatever it takes to build the dominating car. Those without
are left in the dust. With rules, there is some control over what can be
done to a car, making the class more accessable to all.
Is that what you're trying to say?
