I concur with Baird... You can bring most anything to the track & race, (but you wont win any trophies unless it meets class rules).
The 'regular' racers are the ones who made up all the rules (not Neil) over many years of racing & fussing over what's fair (& unfair).
The 2-stroke china girls have always made up the majority of the bikes showing up... So they make up the majority of the race classes... ( Beginner, Novice & Expert class), each having it's own rules that the racers ok'd to make the racing fair.
Every other type of bike that shows up is put into the 'Midrange' class (unless it's so powerful that it gets put into the 'unlimited' class: which many days has just been Scotto out there all alone on his Monster bike.
(So Neil wasn't lying to you about the Unlimited class being almost nonexistent)... In fact, the class probably would've been dumped a long time ago if Scott didn't show up for every event.
Electric bikes are very rare out there, & they're usually hard to place in a class... (They're often too powerful for Midrange but not powerful enough for Unlimited).
If there were four or five electric bikes that would show up regularly?, they would have their own class...
& even then, they would quickly start arguing over making new rules for the class!!
As far as lap times & all that other BS goes... These are just fun ~ low budget races & no one cares about that stuff!!!
Remember... It's the racers who actually show up & race regularly who make all the rules & classes (not Neil)... (but it always seems to be the guys who've never raced with us who get online & b*tch about the rules)
If you want to change the rules (or classes), you need to show up & race regularly!
In ending this... these are Neil's races (& I feel) that he does a really good job of keeping it going, keeping it fair & also doing what he can to bring in new racers.... So please, cut him some slack!
