No, I don't buy that this would keep you out. Prices have escalated and payouts have dropped. It aint the old days!

Jeff,The rule concerning the improved rocker arms would surely not keep me out,what I meant was if significant changes like the rockers keep on comming,then when and where does it stop.We can rationalize anything,
however as the motors and chassis get more complex it continues
to ,in the majority of cases, create additional expenses.In my book
stock eliminator was a place that you could race on a reasonable budget. Tuning and engine/chassis combination skills were the main
ingredient to winning in stock eliminator. It seems the class has gotten
pretty far away from that philosophy. ed
PS- yes I used to beg my car buddies to go through their rocker arms to find the ones with the best lift, plus con the Chevy parts guys
to take back new ones with poor lift ,it didnt always work!
