Too Afraid to Ask

BOP is a way to make different cars race against each other by adjusting things like weight or engine power so no single car has a huge advantage.

Technical Definition

BOP stands for Balance of Performance, a set of rules used by racing series to equalize cars with different powerplants and setups so they compete fairly.
