There is a class for every car, but no class is perfect for every driver all the time. That's the breaks.

I think what discourages most of the people you're talking about is attitude. They "stumbled upon" autocross, yet expect to be in the trophies the first time out. Whoops! They modded their car for fun, and now they're not competitive in the class that kicks them into. So what? Better luck next car. Meanwhile, run in "street open" or just do "fun runs" and have fun.
