Default Re: Engine diapers on S/SS?

Suggest racers make a list of concise impacts such a change would make and feed that to your SRAC representatives. Not a tirade, but a detailed impact statement to what changes would be required to your particular car(s) to mount a blanket or belly pan. For some (FE fords come to mind) it would almost require fender exit headers, wow, wouldn’t that look great and then we’d crank up the dB police. In my case with a tie rod spanning the engine bay it would almost require a dry sump system be designed fabricated and tested. In other words I’d no longer compete at NHRA events. While that may be dandy with NHRA since we’re basically a nuisance to them anyway I really don’t think they want to kill the cash cow sportsman racers.
