A sleeper is just that. A very unassuming vehicle that will put the number down & then usually be asked to leave said track because it's lacking in safety equipment for its ability.

Exactly. My long time understanding of the term "sleeper" on the street is an unassuming, all stock looking low option vehicle not exhibiting performance enhancements or performance level hood scoops, badges or markings. Such vehicles could be 2 or 4 door sedans or trucks with near stock size wheels and tires and reasonably quiet exhaust.
Farm Junk is no sleeper with steam roller tires and loud exhaust, not to mention it's world wide reputation.
