I wouldn't worry about the classification system. For someone who hasn't done Solo II AutoX, it is more important that you spend the first season getting used to your car, riding and tallking with guys who have a ton of experience, and just getting used to your car. Completely forget about being competitive. Use yourself as a baseline to observe improvement.

I always try and hitch a ride with some of the better drivers just to observe their skills and see what I am not doing correctly. I just keep my mouth shut and listen to them.

Don't be surprised, either, that some clapped out Honda CRX will make times close to that of the later day muscle cars. The key is balance not speed, and not to have unreasonable expectations. You should have a lot of fun.
