Sure there is. When the sanctioning bodies were asked to allow disc brakes on stockers, they allowed OEM disc brakes to replace the front drums on older cars. Very few stepped up and used "safer" but heavy OEM disc brakes to replace their drums. BUT when aftermarket lightweight disc brakes were finally allowed in stock, many racers jumped on the lighter weight bandwagon.
Its not about safety...its about lighter weight parts being allowed.
