The different classes will vary by track and division. Your best bet would be to talk to folks at the track you plan to race at.

Here's the basic breakdown for NHRA tracks around here (IHRA is a little different).

Super Pro - cars running 7.50-11.99, electronics allowed (for all purposes, electronics are required, as you won't stand a chance in hell without at least a delay box).

Pro - 10.00-13.99, no electronics (footbrake only, no transbrakes).

Sportsman - 12.00-up, no electronics, mufflers required. Also referred to as "DOT," or "Street Sportsman."

Entry fees and payouts generally get higher as you go "up" in classes.
