Good idea.

I've been to places where all the beginners are tossed into one class vehicle type doesn't matter. No one can stay on the track, so it doesn't matter who wins. Its about learning how to turn good clean laps in competition. If someone shows they can really drive, they get bumped, like Nathaniel, into a class by the director (Novice, Sportsman, Open, Super) like Spike did.

Novice is one step above beginner. They're not as fast, not as skilled as the Open guys. One or two offroad season guys who are taking their time learning. (Like me)

Sportsman at most places is what we are seeing in open. Its the guys who just aren't as fast as Open and Super and have a ton of good driving skills. They know how to get out of the way, don't go off course much and though competitive, don't let a true racing incident phase them. Those are the guys doing the back slapping and smiling coming off the stand. They are "Sportsmen".

Open, this is a unique class. Most places toss everyone in Mod and let the heats sort the field. This Open class is nice as it allows the guys who are really fast, but still working on skill to progress. These are the guys most likely to "hack" their way past a slower driver.

Super, love to watch these guys drive. These are the guys to try and follow in practice and take pointers from. They are also they guys I turn to when my truck doesn't feel right, or I tune it right out of competition.
