Do you think sportsman drivers would pay $60 - $75 for an entry fee at a big event if they were racing with all the top level drivers. There absolutely needs to be a sportsman class, it provides beginners an opportunity to race with people with the same skill level and learn. Do you think Maifield, Drake, and Tebo want to run the first two qualifiers at a big event with sportsman?

Also if you have sportsman and pro level drivers racing together could you imagine all the verbal abuse they would have to listen to on the drivers stand. That alone would cause people to lose interest in the hobby.

There are people at our track that have all the top of the line stuff but it still doesn't make them turn fast laps so that argument is pretty terrible.

To answer your question... you should know when you are ready to make the jump to pro.
