Eligibility:The spirit of the Sportsman class is just what it implies - a place for novice drivers to hone their skills. A driver may be moved out of the Sportsman class after 3 race wins by majority board vote if the board feels that competitor should be competing in the more competitive medium or heavy senior class.
 A competitor in the Sportsman Class is allowed a 2 race open tire grace period but after 2 races must purchase spec tires and wheels. This is to allow a competitor who has never raced GSKA to be allowed 2 races to decide if he wants to continue racing with GSKA. After 2 races he must switch to the spec tire and wheel. This grace period applies to all and will be monitored by entry in the 1st race participated.
