Umm, 5 races to go from beginner to sport? I talked with the race coordinators who consulted with NORBA and said that I could race sport right from the start if I was "comfortable" riding. So I did. And so I got completely trashed. However, I'm glad I did, as I would have just about won beginners. The two categories are worlds apart.
I do know that you have to have a certain number of races and even placings to make it to expert, but never heard of this in sport. I guess I shouldn't have raced the 3 or 4 times I have as sport now. Oh well, I'm not telling.
