Because most of the checkbook racers with new cars do not want to get their hands dirty or would even know how to tear down their engine. Setting a national record is something you choose to do by putting "R" on your window and pulling into the record lane. Very few of the underrated new cars pull into the record lane even though they could destroy their class record. But that would mean a hit on their bogus horsepower.
The new cars with bogus horsepower are looking for the easy win in a heads up run. Now that is what pi$$es the racers off who have raced for years and have maxed out their combinations. If the factored horsepowers on the new cars were accurate there would be very little to complain about.
