Totally agree!
Thank you for trying to talk about the subject at hand. I think sportsman, pro, s/pro is the real beginner classes that spring board you into the NHRA sportsman ranks should you choose to. To go .90 or S/SS racing is a big jump from running your local bracket track. Not necessarily competition wise but money spent, travel, time off work, nicer/faster/upgraded car, better tow rig for long trips and camping. I'd say there isn't a beginner NHRA sportsman class but if I had to choose I'd still say SST because of I reasons I've already stated like low cost of building a competitive car etc.
