On the surface, it looks and smells like quite fishy. However, this may be a case of a promoter trying to do something to help the show especially given the weekend that it is racing.
I was quite shocked the first time that I went to my local micro track to see all of the cars doing double/triple duty in one night. Many "A" Cars will start at in the non wing class, then they will throw on a wing and run the "A" winged class, and then a couple will put on a bigger wing and better tires and run in the outlaw class. At first, I thought that they had separate cars until the next weekend when I bought a pit pass and saw the cars transition from class to class in front of my eyes.
For most of us, changing rules at the last moment is something that we don't do. For many more of us, the health of midget racing and "an economy class" is a huge concern. However, given the weekend that it happened I may give it a pass. Of course, if the economy class already had a good car count and this was done as you suggested to help a certain few, then I would agree with everything you said.
