People want data on how and when a stocker or super stocker has oil the track? How about the Dutch Classic 2 years ago - my buddy was racing there and said they were down for 6 ++ hours because of stockers blowing up - they then cancelled the day.

If you are wheelstanding and worried about ruining the diaper - that means you are hitting your oil pan or frame - you have bigger issues !!

And since when do we need proof of past problems - why in the world do I have to run a -15 suit. Show me the data of how many people suffer burns over their body because they had a -5 on?

The rule should simply be you race div or nationally - everyone has to have it on - you bracket race locally 10.99 and faster you need it as well.

You can buy a diaper for $149 so I dont want to hear it's bull**** and they are killing us with costs - my suit was 1800 !!!

Sorry if it sounds like a rant - but the topic is a joke and should really be a non issue

you dont have a stock or super stock car so maybe you dont understand the limited area we have to try and fit a diaper my steering just misses my oil pan by maybe 1/8 inch and we are not aloud to touch that in these cars
secondly i have a car that wheel stands to high on occasion but most of the time it is under control but if the conditions are right it will go way in the air and just ligntly touch the track with the oil pan thats not a bigger issue unless NHRA want to let us change the steering and some other things that would have to be done this is not a good idea one other thing it is not cost of the diaper that is upsettingit it is the cost of getting then to fit in my case it will cost me about $1500 dollars new headers etc.etc.
