Is the this mandantory to run in super street or optional.

A engine diaper is required for all S/ST cars. It does not have to be an SFI certified diaper but I assume one made by a recognised manufacturer. Universal fit diapers do the job and will run probably around $180. Contact Dennis from DRE and he can fix you up.

Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

Mandatory if you run over 135 mph and well worth it. If you ever have a blow up, you will be very glad you had one.

straight from this years rule book sec 7 page 2

OIL-RETENTION DEVICE
All vehicles must utilize an NHRA-accepted lower engine oilretention
device; may use a belly pan in lieu of a device attached to
the engine. If belly pan is used, must extend from framerail to
framerail and extend forward of the harmonic balancer and
rearward to rear-engine plate and must incorporate a minimum 2-
inch-high lip on all sides. A nonflammable, oil-absorbent liner
mandatory inside of retention device. See General Regulations 1:8.

don't get confused with the gen regs. the above rule is specifically for sst. all vehicles need a diaper no matter what et's or mph they run.

Your div director or tech guys should be able to answer any questions you have.

Hope this helps
