If $160 dollars keeps oil off of my tires, and keeps me from destroying my car AND/OR SOMEONE ELSES CAR, I would buy a new one each season. I'm sure anyone who has torn up their racer and/or themselves after oiling the tires would have loved to have had the device in place. It's a real bitch when your sittin in the water and it's 90 degrees in the shade, and the guy just oiled 1000 feet of race track/shutdown area. Your in there sweatin your *** off, Your pissed off, your B/P is boiling, your emotion is taking over (your "A" game just became a "B" or 'C" game at best). Think about it, you'll have a year to get it done anyway!

Wade,in the case of S/SS cars the diaper is going to slow down the rate that the oil in the pan is cooled down.Super catogoriy cars are set up a few hundreths soft as you already know.
