I like the ideas being purported for the sportsman stock/pro stock and mod classes...I still think that having a rookie class (the mini class proposed at the top of the page has promise) that way new guys have someplace where they can get in on the ground floor and be able to run with guys of relatively equal ability and then as they go through workshops and learn about their cars and get better they can move up as I outlined a number of pages ago. I think also having a end of the year "national championship" for them would also give them a nice carrot to shoot for and give the guys moving up to sportsman a chance to go out with a bang.
