Jim, I was just wondering when it became legal to weld or customize stock rockers??
When we went to Indy in '04 with the 350 Buick, I had already split a couple of rockers at the shaft hole. I wonder how long we would have lasted in teardown if I had welded a bridge piece across the top of my rockers to strengthen them up?

Let's do a poll:

5 seconds

10 seconds

15 seconds

Mark, who knows? All I know is that there are many things out there that are in now and no one knows why.....
