Default racing class?

OK, I race Novice Truck, with my son. After making two 1st place finishes in a row, he is asking me to move to intermediate. He's 9 and competing against him is a little bit crappy. I get a sinking feeling each time I pass him.

I'm not so sure I'm ready. I did some calcs and my Avg. lap times are about 3 seconds down from "average" Intermediate Truck. That doesn't matter to me so much.
I'm sure I'll get faster pretty quick, I'm so new.

When is it time to move up to Int? Should I just go for it? It's not that I'm anxious to do so. I just need to race a different class than my son right now.
I know he'll be kicking my but soon enough.
