I thought they used the reverse speedo so you wouldn't get it confused with the tach. During most races, the driver doesn't care how fast they are going, they are more concerned about hitting redline...especially in a big block. If you were running around 100-110, this would be in the running range of the engine as shown on the tach. A quick glance with your eyes and see the wrong gauge could make a huge difference. This won't happen with a reverse speedo.
