If it's the latter, there are ways of making heads-up racing cheaper, leveling the playing field, and making it easier to police. Require an approved restrictor plate and a 2" cone collector. Done. I did extensive computer modeling on this many, many years ago, and it works ridiculously well. You can spend money on all the trick carbs and heads you want, but when they can't breathe, it's not worth anything. Efficiency is rewarded over cubic dollars.

Don't waste your breath Michael. It's not "trick" or "expensive" enough. Everybody knows that something that simple can't work!
