There is a couple of differences:
* one keeps the crowd interested with their shinanigans, the other is V8's
* one does some good racing without interference from race control, the other is V8's
* One is fighting back new entrants, the other is V8's
Do I need to go on?

Is there any truth to the allegations that the UCUs were tweaked to handicap the 'hares' and help the 'tortoises' (not mentioning any names, like the prodigiously talented Hayley Swanson)?

No, quite the opposite, the drivers with the biggest budgets or those able to introduce new commercial "partners" to the Creator allegedly seemed to get mysteriously fast engines.

Maybe its the size of the powerplant that counts?

The story goes that the last time Mr Quinn & co made an offer for the series in the mid 2000's, it was a $2,000,000 discussion, with some level of involvement from Spherix.... That was with a strong teev deal, loads of new entrants keeping the manufacturing business humming...
It would not be surprising to see the Quinns and their Keltic enterprise licence the series to other markets for a hefty royalty...
