You are an exception to support a rule. In our experience in AZ Region
the problem has existing in the Stock classes, as well. Also, we have
a variety of PAX classes available (Street Tire, Street Tire Ladies,
Novice, Novice Ladies, PAX Men's, PAX Ladies, and the newly formed
Sportsman) which are generally open to everyone (except for this
gender thing where men cannot compete in Ladies, but Ladies can
compete in all classes). In this venue even your weird AM Honda
can find competition with another entrant.
If your region is rigid to the rule book on classes (another topic
altogether) then the handling of single-car classes will seem more
difficult and possibly heavy handed. But those regions chose their
poison to start with....
