Agree 1000%; like Alan and others have said, the new rockers will just move the weak link to another component (my spare $1200 "OEM" rockers now being virtually worthless), meanwhile they want us to spend $ on 'safety changes' that make the SCCA crowd laugh. Guys wearing their pajamas brought about the pant rule (which I agree with because it truly advances safety) and now others whine because they can't fix their rocker arm issues and cause everyone to spend a bunch of money to update their stuff which they worked to figure out and make work. Chances are the net thing is just because some racers use raggedy old nets so NHRA wants to uphold the "appearances". I guess well anchored true racing seats just makes too much sense, besides wouldn't want to violate the spirit of "stock". Take a good look at some of the 'stockers' that some master craftsmen have built and tell me how a good seat would in any way take the car away from 'stock'. Give me a break..
