Bob Reed Crashed

ANyone who thinks walls arent safe are crazy. Racetracks are as safe now as ever and I hit a wall back in 1990 not my fault, broke and axle but would not want a guardrail or room for a guardrail.

I would hate to add insult to injury here. and I hate that for Bob but I must say that iif he had he had a diaper on the car the odds would have been that he would never got into the wall. There has been too many others that have written and made statements that their cars/lives have been saved by using one.

Its cheap insurance guys......

Rick : you are entitled to your opinion but i hate to add insult to injury but a diapher would not made any difference. There has been a whole lot of race cars hitting the wall with diaphers

Not enough room to slip a piece of saran wrap down the side of the block, let alone a diaper. Unfortunately, it would never work on most SS engines. If they implemented this rule for us...our car would be parked. That's how serious it is for us, and many, many others I know of.

A friend of mine had a T/S truck ran 7.40's in the 1/4. They backed him off due to an oil leak, he had a diaper on the truck, there was over a quart of oil in the diaper. What he found was an oil line on the external pickup was leaking obviously the run before. Who knows but if I'm going that fast Ill have a diaper.

AMMMEEENNN.. Mike, if most of these guys would take a look at most of the engines, there is no way a diaper can get on the cars.
