Hi Glen
I am no expert, but my guess and from my experience.

The street cars probably started out with something that looked right, but I think that when they started to race the cars it was evident that you cannot clearly see the rev counter, so they raised it up to give a better view through the steering wheel.
Just a theory? I guess someone who knows the history better than I will have a more plausible theory.

Regards
Steve
