Maybe we need a poll because MOST (from my outlook with all the new motors available) are already running solid rollers. They wouldn't need to vote. It looks to me like the only ones not running them are the cars from 60-early 80's. At the rate of $2100 a set and 6 months wait time for tool steel lifters they can lower the entry to 30 and 95% will be roller motors. If I have to qualify for a event spot against a non-vin, state of the art, factory made race car at least make it fair for the old flat tappet cars.

Here's a "fair" way to make this work without affecting anyone else, why don't you go and buy a "non-vin,state of the art, factory made race car"! It's thinking like THIS that has S/SS in the screwed up state that it's in and why there needs to be some re-thinking and some back-tracking of some of the rules by NHRA and Tech.

What we need is a valve spring rule.

Quickly taking the “Stock” out of stock. Yes there have been major changes. If we want or need all that just move to Superstock?
Every change suggested creates a new set of issues and not just costs. Roller cams / lifters/springs double the cost. . EFI probably triple the cost. Last edited by Barry Polley; 01-05-2022 at 12:55 PM. |

Why did hydraulic lifter combinations get solids and adjustable rockers? I'm fine with that improvement but it certainly wasn't new technology. My 64 MW was OEM solids.

I must be really dumb running hydraulic lifters, stock rockers, and beehive valve springs on my non-VIN, state of art, factory race cars.......
