Without stud girdles, if they allowed full roller rockers in stock, the first thing that would happen would be a lot of engines with stud mounted rockers would start breaking rocker studs.

In most cases, where the old school style rockers are used, the rocker arm is the "fuse" or the "weak link". Changing to aftermarket roller rockers will merely change what part breaks first. Then the people breaking that part will demand aftermarket versions of that part be allowed, or some sort of device designed to prevent breakage be allowed.

Yeah, I'm one of those guys, who thinks Stock Eliminator has already moved too far toward Super Stock.
Alan you are correct..................
