The ONLY way to do this is to emulate the already-succcessful Open Track events which can be insured and open to street-licensed cars.
what that means is....it has to become a SCHOOL and not be a COMPETITION
If it becomes a RACE...I can foresee bad things...not intentional fender-banging, but maybe chances being taken that shouldn't be (which could result in the same level of bent fenders).
The BEST way I can see accomplishing anything good is to have transponders in each and every participating car for the entire day. Spread the cars out and have them race the CLOCK and only the clock. "Awards" will be for the best lap times. If you've had all day to make laps, surely one of them should show the car/driver potential. If you get hung up behind a slower car, there should be NO NEED to take a chance to pass. You'll have another chance to make a good lap, so just relax.
Having a slalom course set up and also a 200 ft. skid pad would offer more chances for timed "awards" while everyone is "learning."
I say worry LESS about classes and focus more on FUN. Everyone will know who's doing well and who could use some help. It's always quite obvious.
I will have more (maybe MUCH more) to contribute to this subject soon.
