That's too bad that you felt that way. I can't think of anyone in Reno scca who does not want you or other younger competitors there -- but I'm sure improvements can be made with 'veterans' reaching out to the newbies and younger drivers.
As far as class restructuring, I've had personal experience with grouped classes in the Pro Solo series, where they classify all Ladies classes into 2 classes, L1 and L2. (The ProSolo pax is a bit different from SCCA Solo pax.) It's been my experience that there was always a class killer pax-wise, and if you weren't driving in that class with a properly set up car, you'd rarely be able to place let alone win an event. It led to hard feelings and resentment towards the drivers of the class killer cars (albeit money was also at stake). I'm not in favor of grouping classes because of this.
