Like I said...those that want every .001 to .01 will do what needs to be done. The rest, those that obviously will never find the true potential of their combination, just want reliability.

Case in point...I see a LOT of stick racers that could go .20 to .30 quicker with more refined clutches and if not more refined clutches, then more refined tuning. And I'm not here to bash one brand or another, nor I am I hear bashing one racer over another racers clutch driving / tuning abilities. But you see clutch racers that go "all out" looking for every .01 (I would be in that category) and others that give up two tenths or more because the feel they would rather give up ET performance for what they perceive as reliability and repeatability for rounds. And some just don't believe that ET decrease is possible so they don't even explore. Is this any different than the rocker arm debate? In the end, you will have those that want it all and those that just want to get by and have fun. There's a LOT of Stock racers that are just there to have fun and their idea of fun is not breaking parts and not looking for every .001 with cubic dollars.

And I can't say how many but I know there are many out there running roller rockers with hopes they never get caught. Think about that. Racers are willing to risk a one year suspension for a flagrant rules violation. I believe this guys are after reliability and rounds more than anything else.
