Hypothetically speaking, this would be a pretty good class next year

The class would be cheaper to run than DP's and give teams a shot at the overall glory.

That grid, all-pro cars (aka the Muscle Milk car and maybe the PR1 Mathiasen car if the drivers get reclassified) get 25kilos of ballast would make for a delightful show.
Either IMSA needs to stick their neck out and create an exciting, fast, loud replacement for the struggling P1 grid or do something like that. Two or three cars in the big class does make for a black eye, especially when it is occurring year after year. I'm the biggest ALMS fan-boy I'm aware of and even I am getting tired of the lack of numbers up front. P2 is great, but it would be nice to get ultra-ultra-ultra-fast cars back where they belong (on the grid - and wearing IMSA decals, and being quicker than ACO P1, ideally).
