Bryan, the custom built one that I got from DRE wa about 400 dollars. Even with the center link going through the diaper and Stef's pan, my little mishap last year concentrated the cleanup in a much smaller area. I believe the cleanup only took 10 minutes and I was able to get my car stopped without sliding around in 5W30. Some track are even paying you extra if you win a local event and have a diaper on the car.

My thought is let the diaper guy look at Brian's car....his looks like one of the worst cases I've seen....If the diaper guy says he can't do it...I guess it can't be done....Brian's car will at least speak for the many 69 camaro's...that should be enough to stop it....you would think...

I think both will be at the Norwalk Divisional....

Actually I think Brian should put a stock pan on his car so the diaper fits and we stop breathing his exhaust.....lol

I have been to a lot of races over the last 20 + years brackets, combos, divs and nationals and have broken a few motors a long the way which have never oiled the track knock on wood. We now can run aftermarket rods better pistons and the latest bearings. Most of us are not running 10 qts of oil or dry sumps. Nun of use wants to oil the track most of the time its just bad luck. Nascar have tons and tons of money in there motors and they blow up just like anybody else, they don,t have dipers, there on TV and have a fleet of sweeper trucks and jet dryers. Why are we such a problem the pros have caused more down time at one race than a years worth of sportman runs. We could have a honest poll on this fourum to just how many times one of us has oiled the track that has caused a cleanup of any kind. Tom
