Explain to me again, please

It's all well and good if everyone in Stock run solid lifters, my problem with it is that my engine came with solids and was penalized with hp the day it rolled out of the showroom. Why is NHRA allowing solids and not penalizing those that are switching from hydraulic with to solids without a HP increase?

Certainly waiting for parts, and prices increases is a real issue in our current "Covid" world, but the idea of changing the rules because some items are hard to get at the moment is ludicrous. Edelbrocks NHRA spec heads have been on back order for many engines for months, maybe we should allow ANY aftermarket head, simply because they are easier to find? Oh no, NHRA approved Quick Fuel and Edelbrock carbs are on backorder? No problem, Dominators for everybody ! Summit is out of stock on 9x30 slicks, but they have 14x32s on the rack, sure, why not! Where does it all end?

Looks like Trend was one of the "Race Winning Brands" companies that was bought by a capital equity firm in November. That probably explains alot of the huge price increases.
