Diaper DIscussion
 

Guys,
Has there been a recent change in the NHRA rules concerning the recertification of diapers. My rule book says thatSFI 7.1 diapers need to be recertified yearly, and that SFI 7.2 diapers have to be recertified every 5 years. Is this still true? The reason I'm asking is that one of the diaper companies has told my friend that diapers no longer need to be certified.

Thanks in advance

Bill

they don't need to be certified for S/C and S/G...just approved....

Thanks Rock, could you get NHRA to print that in the dragster thanks and remember Keep your mess in your diaper and off the track !

Re: Diaper DIscussion
 

not sure if its true but (you may want to double check with NHRA) I heard that if the diaper is certified it MUST be re certified as necessary but if it was always an approved diaper it does NOT need to reinspected / certified.

Thats the way it was explained to me!

NHRA needs to do something! The racers just have no clue about the actual diaper rules & its not there fault!

Re: Diaper DIscussion
 

This is true ,if you buy a SFI Diaper it will have to be recertified every year or every 5 years that is the rules.This is the main reason why I tell guys to buy the NHRA accepted diapers.

There is a new product I have seen recently that is better than a diaper....well maybe not for you diaper salesman but better for us racers. It's a plastic bellypan/tray that has straps to attach it to the frame rails. Don Davis is selling them. I also have friends who had the belly pan installed and I think that is way beter than wrestling with the dipaer...I have an RCI SFI 7.2 on my car right now.

That is exactly why you think a belly pan is better!

Try a DRE Diaper and you won't be wrestling with anything.

Ask Warren Johnson how well his belly pan worked a few races ago when he almost put it in the wall.

I always wanted to know how to spell touche'. I am all for the diaper, I believe it is way better to keep your junk in a bag then on a plate.
