Why did nhra change the cam and valve spring rule in 1985?

The problem is that they change the rules as they go along. Instead of ***** footing around, why not allow roller cams to match the newer engines with roller cams and also fuel injection while we are at it. Did I also miss crank trigger?
The rules in stock, should be stock and not with all the after market parts that don't belong. I like it to see someone squeeze out HP with limited parts to their disposal, with controlled regulations and not just put in (full advantage) after market parts that they find on the shelf. I'm sure most of the time, NHRA will accept parts, if we pitch a bitch enough about how hard it is to get originals even if their are plenty of those originals still around.
