Three digits, no re-use, 100-199 range used for the second driver on two driver cars (two driver cars primary driver use the 00-99 range). Sort class out later/digitally. obviously this won't work for events with 1000+ participants
It would make gridding with/running with/identifying competitors in your class much more difficult. Also, as the sport is policed by its competitors, it would make violating the rules a lot easier.
I don't see a problem with 2 letter classes. 3 letters isn't bad. I agree that 4+ letters is getting to be a bit much. You could get it all done with two letters pretty easily: Stock, Street, Touring, something between Touring/Prepared, Prepared, and Modified with sub-classes.
