I don't know what local races you are talking about.
But.Most decent race associations implement anti sand bragging measures.
If a guy just blisters a c or b class and his times are fast enough to be in the top 10% of the class above them then they would get moved up.
Etc.Etc. The race promoters and local clubs who put on the events, the associations are not retarded.They know what's up.
As far as sportsman classes, beginner classes go etc.etc.
First they usually run less laps or half race etc.So kind of hard to make comparisons there.
And secondly who gives a crap.
The cure for that crap is no trophies.Give them a hat or a t-shirt.
Yeah sand bagging happens.But in the majority of cases it's not as bad as it's made out to be, or there is misinformation or a mistake of some kind was made.
In the majority of cases it's just an excuse to not win or place in an event.
Worry about your ownselves and be honorable , realistic about the class you are riding in.
Ride up a class if you are in doubt.
Ride the A class and you won't have any worries.
Forget trophies, focus on your overall finishes.
Race for fun.That plastic trophy doesn't mean shit.
Racing is about what you put into it.Not what you get out of it.
