Lets start with that...seat belts. If it's SFI approved once, it's SFI & NHRA approved forever (or until an obvious problem)! I would count sun faded as a problem. I've replaced frickin' belts that had dozens of passes on them and they sat in my cool garage the remaining times.

And I've always been a proponent of "traditional" aluminum roller rockers for Stockers. That or take away any modified lifters. That means NO MODIFICATIONS. Take your pick.

I dont think I go along with you idea about belts. Good properly working seat belts played a part in saving me and I was told bad belts and plastic seats played a part in us loosing Lee Shepherd. Seat belts are abused by more than just the sunshine. They should be removed and checked. I don't agree with some of the prices charged to recert.
The rocker arm/lifter deal I agree with.
