My selfish reasoning is just so people like me (with 80's vintage Super-Gas cars) can run something competitive (maybe 140 mph in S/ST) without spending a fortune.

It's interesting, there have been several LODRS and National Open S/ST races won out here by 125-130 mph cars, so obviously the speeds aren't everything!
