I disagree with this statement,especially the last sentence.It is a big deal if the diaper WON'T fit.My sbc camaro has no additional room between the stock front crossmember and my oil pan.I don't know any bracket racer,in this division, that runs 10.00 and slower that runs a diaper in a stock chassis car.

Do you have a stocker or an ET car?

If you have an ET car, why are you concerned?

If you have a stocker, why is your pan that close? Those cars have plenty of room for a diaper---unless you have moved the engine or are running an aftermarket pan.

Stock and Super Stock do not need a diapher .. we are not the problem case closed

They shouldn't really worry about Stock or SuperStock cars seen as we only run 2 quarts anyways. An alcohol funny car sprays more raw fuel and oil out the pipes in a burnout than we do in an engine failure.

Due to the fact of possible oil contamination will there be a 2 year rule for replacement,
like belts?
Maybe NHRA will partner with Safety Kleen to snoop inside these diapers and make an environmental issue and causing further cost to the racer.
Only speculation but you never know,
