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.
The way the rules are NOW you can install a diaper if you want to.If you do go right on and do so.Just don't say we all should install them.If we oil down the track shame on us.
If your car burns to the ground with a diaper on it shame on you.
You say the diaper has an absorbant pad.Do you know for a fact it will absorb 5-6 qts. of oil.Also there's the possibility if you crack the block bad enough now you'll also have to deal with water.
And what if you have a diaper on the car and oil/water still spills on the race surface?What then? Do you ask the manufacturer for a refund?
Let's go back to getting the run away HP factors back in line.
