My observations about Street Class is actually the opposite.
If a Street or Stock class is well balanced or the "top car" is popular enough, the class will attract top level talent.
Reference SSR with Brian Peters and Sam Strano, SS with Ken Motonishi and Scott Fraser, AS with Mark Daddio, etc...I would definitely consider all of these drivers among the most competitive drivers in the sport.
While the perception by many is that Street/Stock classes with its limited allowances will attract novices, it also attracts top talent as the places more emphasis on driver skill vs racer car builder skill.
