Well if you have a "breakout" then if they go too fast they're out.
We also have a clause allowing the director/race committee to move someone up based on good judgement. Novice is just that, new and relatively unskilled.
Just post your rules, then follow them. Some people may leave, you can't help it, you have to do what's best overall for the club. Some people will fight for every inch and be difficult. You're in charge, just make things clear and EXECUTE the rules. It may help to have a "race committee 2-3 other veterans who if there's a problem with someone they can be the "complaint dept" take the other fella aside and help him understand these are the rules so you're not feeling the brunt of someone all yourself.
By the way, if they're already dominant, it's already time to tell them at the next race, "congratulations fellas, you're obviously great drivers, and you've really dominated the novice class, so obviously you're too good for this class any more. You get to move up to expert now !!!" Then stand your ground and put them in the computer under expert, that's all you can do.
I believe you'll ALWAYS gain more drivers by following through and standing on what's right, than the few whiners you might lose along the way. People appreciate it when you stand up to sandbaggers !
