I can tell its the "off season" for some people because all the hens have their feathers in a ruffle. Whoever started this post should have waited a few more weeks

I used to run crane nitro rockers and moved to rollers when it became legal in IHRA....not because of failure, because I had a set on the shelf. And I didnt see any change in ET or MPH. So a performance advantage is nill if you are going rocker to rocker with no other changes. And if you cant aford the rockers dont change them, if your stuff works and doesnt break leave it alone. Rollers rockers have been legal in IHRA for a few years now and I dont think the rocker company is going to suffer from not making stamped steel rockers. Their is probably less money to be made on a stamped "aftermarket" rocker because of the tooling involved to make the part VS machining an aluminum bodied rocker. They change the rocker arm rule and you guys start talking about that killing Stock Eliminator and then go on to talk about other things like tires and mini tubbing and inboard springs....take it easy. You guys should know by now any opinions stressed on this or any message board will do nothing to change any sanctioning bodys mind about the rules. Just my 2 cents.

And NHRA and IHRA racers are not the only ones using "stock style" rockers.
