Ron, You are partly correct. Not all racers wanted roller rockers. The ones that really wanted them are the ones who chose to race a combination that has a poor valve train set up. They kept bending the ear of select officials until......well you see what we now have.

Unlike roller rockers, the muffler issue never became a rule. Once a rule is printed, manufacturers fill their bins and racers spend cash on parts, it is hard to get a ruling reversed.

Speaking of roller rockers in Stock now being allowed...why would anyone think that any ratio other than stock would be allowed? Be ready to have the ratio checked in a teardown.
