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 Shepard. 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.

Lee never had his belts buckeled as it was a GoodYear tire test day. The wind caught the chute on a full pass instead of the 60 footers and he was thrown thru the windshield.
