I didn't even get the reference to chariots for the pod-racers. I just didn't like the design. They didn't seem like something that would be in the SW universe.

No offense, but that doesn't make a lick of sense. The podracers are basically just souped-up landspeeders.

 Landspeeders aren't being led by cables connected to engines, at least none of the ones I saw in the OT. The design of the pod racers look superfluous to me and now I know why, because the designers were trying to emulate chariots being led by horses like in Ben Hur.
