oil retention devices

I'm a MoPar guy. I would like to see how a diaper is going to be effective with the A or F body with the tie rod through the oil pan? With all due respect to you Comp and bracket guys who say " It can't be too hard to make them work", you don't know what you are talking about! Comp and Bracket cars don't have to retain STOCK suspensions and steering. There would have to be major rules changed and lots of money passed around to allow aftermarket K frames and motor plates and rear steer rack and pinion steering! And a tray on a Stocker? Nope. I also want to see the statistics that support the need for instituting this rule. Just because the Super .90 cars have to have them is not good enough reason. The Pro cars have had to have them for several years now. How is that working out? Pretty much stopped all the oil downs didn't it? NOT! Call and write your Division offices and Glendora and voice your opinion on this. If we all just sit back and do nothing this will become a rule and once again we will be enhanced! Jim
