Again, the language was added when roller rockers were allowed in the class.

Which then made these old setups with the studs and guide plates illegal.. That fulcrum setup is exactly what I used before the language of the rule changed.. We all have to change with rules we can't just say well it was that way before so in still legal.. That's not how it works.. That's why we have rule changes.. NHRA decided to allow roller rockers but took away another option when they allowed the roller rockers.. That's what everyone gets for asking for these not stock items to be passed as legal in stock.. If we just want to run whatever why even have the designation as stock anymore?
