Hasn't been a flat tappet motor produced in 20 yrs or more but still the flat tappet racer wants to have a dis-advantage over the newer cars. SMH

What is your reasoning, shouldn't engines come as produced in Stock?
It's the hp factors thats the problem!

Going by that reasoning maybe we should have a "20 year rule" again in Stock Eliminator.
(does anybody on here even remember that?)

yes, I remember, lost a lot of good cars to that, some racers quit , also. nhra wanted to get rid of older cars, eventually, it was set at 1960 and newer. recently, it was changed to 1955 and newer, only chevys are allowed.

OR maybe a Vin tag?

The mind is a terrible thing. Of course I meant the 15 year rule that was put in place to remove all of the 55-57 Chevys from Stock Eliminator.

Name one roller cam combo that has an advantage over a flat tappet cam combo with the way the cars are classed now?

No we want to race our cars the way the stock rules were intended. We like stock, not super stock. For all you people that think your problems, reliability, and monetarily will be completely solved with allowing your combo to run a roller cam it won’t be. You will still be slow and break parts. Roller lifters break. Ask guys that race Super Stock.
