DITTO here in San Diego; we call it SU for Street Unlimited. Everything
from fully equipped Caterhams and  Ferrari 360's to a B&M supercharged
68 Camaro.
It's a large and fun class.

One thing we have here in Salina Region (a small region like Badlands),
is 
an STO class -- "Street Touring Other." Our southern neighbor Wichita
Region 
runs it too.

Rules are simple -- Anything on ST-legal tires (140 treadwear rating or 
higher). It's a run what ya brung class. Often it is our largest. We
point 
newbies there because even the Stock-legal newbies are on street rubber
not 
the DOT gumballs. One guy in the class has basically a CP Plymouth 
Roadrunner on street tires, and no he does not dominate but is
competitive 
(often trophies, seldom wins). That way we have no worries about is he
legal 
or not because he has this or that widget on his car -- just go have
fun. 
Most will run it for a time while they learn about what other classes 
require, then make the decision to go Stock or ST or whatever.
