It sounds like you were raised around this so you understand. I did the same. I like the rules and working within that set of rules. I have felt that many young people I work with do not want to follow rules, and I only hope that it is where I work, not the norm.

I am just inquiring for my own thoughts

The "look" is they just don't understand the system. I try to explain it, but they still just don't get it. I'm not a "class" racer myself, but I've watched enough class cars go down the racetrack, and read the rulebook enough to have a pretty basic idea of what's going on. The problem with the guys my age is if it doesn't have 18" wheels, nitrous, supercharger, or lots of chrome it's not cool. They don't get the concept of bracket racing much less class racing....which granted after you guys qualify it's a bracket race unless you run a car in the same class as you.
