For sure I know pops was doing them that way in the 80's uncle Jeff! lol

NHRA needs a Q and A section on their site to allow questions to be asked related to any rules changes/revisions.

That way everyone gets to see what Tech's response is

So to review. This revision it to allow aftermarket style solid lifters, for a solid lifter combo only? Or is this to allow solid flat tappet lifters in place of a hyd flat tappet lifter combo? I read the revision and everyone's comments but just want clarification.

I just emailed NHRA Tech to get clarification on the new language. This is the response:

"The intent was/is to allow the use of a solid lifter in place of a hydraulic, you may not replace a flat tappet with a roller.

Thanks

...and there you have it.
