Plus the outer blanket has a heat/burn resistant material attached to it. the diaper is on your pan very snug so nothing is coming through it.
I'm not trying to sell anyone it, but just trying to educate those about them.

Manny, with all due respect, I have seen the diapers prior to installation and have inspected them close. I am not going to go in to the technical details, but in my job, I deal with material flammability issues for aviation applications in a daily basis. The heat, chemicals and open environment in the race cars, can and will deteriorate the material with time. In the past I have addressed many rule issues with both NHRA and SFI, just to be snubbed.
