people get bored of true spec class racing. once they get used to the speed, some of them move up to the faster classes. But then the spec class dies out, and the guys that stuck with it eventually disappears. Then after a while the whole track undergoes a "omg, we need more racers" and new "spec" class is born. This cycle repeats.
There's a whole bunch of Vintage Trans Am, GT and TCS racers who would disagree with you wholeheartedly. Spec racing IS what rc should be about. All that ROAR level stuff should be for those that REALLY can or want to make the investment in time and money to compete at that level.
Granted, people MAY move into a faster class but that should NEVER be because of boredom. The excitement of building a car, racing a car and winning with that car are the same no matter what class you're in so if everybody is on board with a SPEC program and everybody is encouraged to enjoy that program theres no reason for the scenario you described. VTA especially has proven THAT !!
