See, Raymond, therein lies one of the major problems with this (and really any) rule change: everyone thinks in terms of how it will affect THEM as an individual, not what how it would affect the collective good. Is this proposal good for the category and club as a whole? Of course some people will be unhappy, and some will be very happy, but it would be very shortsighted for any individual to support or oppose anything based on how it would affect them alone. Don't forget, my car's a 1992, so it wouldn't be eligible for that much longer either!
Also don't forget that if you support this rule as a good idea and it passes, then for you then nothing would change: you'll still be racing Regionals only. If you oppose this rule because you wouldn't be eligible and it's shot down, then nothing changes: you'll still be racing Regionals only. So, for you, it's irrelevant: I would thereofre expect you will think of this in terms of the big picture and decide whether it's a good idea for the category long-term.
And, right there Charlie, is another problem: not everyone can be satisfied. A few posts above some folks were opposed to going National because it would cause an influx of a lot of people into the class; you're concerned because it might dilute the class! Sooo, which is it (Rhetorical question)? And, whichever way it turns out, will everyone be pleased?
Nope.
