The reason being is most manufacturers pay the cash money in the Expert Super Sport classes, even Light Weight.  Maybe they could grid based on the lap times of say the 2nd practice round on Saturday or even the first round on Sunday.  If you are not there to qualify, then grid based on the normal registration process.

That's just Suzuki, Sean. The other Japanese manufactures pay contingency in MW SB and UL GP, +  Thunderbike, and Supertwins for DUC and Buell.  Even if you just say SS, how can you gaurantee someone won't qualify on a superbike, since practice isn't split up. And the 600 and up bikes all practice together.

There`s just no time for it. Unlimited GP qualifying may get cut as it is!!

I didn't run qualifying for UN-GP, couldn't afford to waste the tire's mileage.
In fact, once I put my new tires on, I don't even run practice.  Races only.
Qualifying SS for club-level would take a lot of time, & not everyone would do it.
The winners are going to make it to the front anyway.
imho

Sean, what do you have to worry about, you're usually up front anyways. Hell, with Kern bumping up to the 600's next year, you should be on the podium every time.
