Some of the most popular supercars on the street were non-competitive in NHRA Stock and Super Stock racing. For example: 383 Road Runners and 400 cu.in. GTO's. Tons of them on the street--near zero at the Nationals.

And classifying street cars with the usual hi-po speed parts added to them to run against purpose-built race cars really was short-sighted and counterproductive on their part.
