I am pretty sure Tim is right. When you are driving a circle track car your head isn't "banked" so you wouldn't angle the gauges for that reason. They are turned so that "normal" is in the center, and that applies to the tach as well. "OK" engine speed is in the center, "too slow" is probably to the left, and "too fast" is to the right.
