I can see both sides of this. You don't want the entire NovU grid lining up on MWSS/MWSB along with the experts. However, there were quite a few novice this year that finished in the top 5-10 in their novice races AND their amateur races. So obviously they are fast enough to compete with, and beat, some of the experts.

I think a safe and fair compromise would be to put a qualifier in the rule for eligibility. It could be along the lines that once a novice had finished a novice race in the top 10 or an amateur race in the top 15 they would be eligible to compete in the novice wave along with the expert classes.

You get the safety factor of only putting people on the grid that are fast enough to not be a safety hazard, yet still allow novices to run with experts, get more races and still compete for their own standings. With this, you also filter out the random guy who signs up for his first race weekend and signs up for all the expert races because he thinks he's the next Spies, and promptly gets blown past all day long and never comes back.
