Super Street National Championship

Super Street has "traditionally" been an entry level class designed for the local (as in Divisional area) racer who might not have the resources to pursue a National Championship with all the travel and expense associated with that. Up until about three years ago a racer couldn't run another class if they were running S/ST, again trying to develop the local racer and to prevent racers with more resources from doubling into the "entry level" class. Current route is for the S/ST racer to step up to S/G or S/C if they want the national exposure and expenses that go along with that. The quality of today's typical S/ST operation if virtually on par with other sportsman classes but you still occasionally see cars that could easily be put together for less than 10K and it gives those racers an opportunity to run for Divisional exposure and of course the coveted "Wally".

Cooter is correct as well, they normally don't have enough pit space or time to run another class like Super Street at all the National events, it's usually only restricted to one National event within each Division with features S/ST.
