Diapers are mandatory

[Rick Bailey]

While I certinally don't want to piss anyone off here, But why wouldn't a guy want to use a diaper, my god it may keep a car off the wall.....destroying the car, or worse, injury or death.

Diapers are darn cheap !!!.............J &J 's are asking less than a 100 bucks, and Dennis's are 169.00.

I personally care less about the clean up problems for the tracks.....but only my junk and my driver........

Use our head guys.......

i dont know about the other combos, but putting a diaper on an FE, not goin to happen. I think the HEMI cars would have a problem too.. Crawl up under 2 of these cars and let me know how a diaper will work.... no pissing goin here either...

Dennis is already working on one for my Drag Pak. I just have to get some final dimensions on the block.

After already losing two engines that dropped the bottom ends, one on the chassis dyno and another in Atlanta on the track, Chris started working with Dennis to get one for our car, and I have been the sticking point in getting it done.

I did get about twenty pictures of the block with a ruler for dimensioning, but once I got home with them, I didn't know what I had shot. So there was no way I could explain the dimensions to Dennis. Maybe if I am not snowed or iced in all week, I can try to get the dimensions.

With the drag link going through the oil pan on my Hemi, I would like to see how it could be made to fit. Great idea if you have the room. Dyno

Bill, the way I read the rules, they apply to all cars. I can see the diaper rule for a National event because of time limits. Not the locals. Hell, now they want bracket racing at divisionals to kill some time.(and make some entry fee money)

After looking at both cars I have, there is no way a diaper will fit between the oil pan and crossmember on the stocker. I may change pans-which will not be legal-or cut the crossmember, which I will not do.

The S/S car has a custom oil pan and custom headers made just for that car. If a few modifications can provide enough space for a diaper, I may use one.

Otherwise I will patronize Pro Stick and some of the TriState and ECSSS series races, and IHRA.

I'm am getting tired of NHRA dreaming up new ways for me to hand them money like insurance, entry fees, pit bike fees, oil down fees, threaten me with fines for environmental fees while the payouts won't cover the the expenses incured on the average weekend unless you win-provided you can collect any contingency money. The racer has to pay/assume all the risk while someone else reaps the benefit. You can only push so far....

Dyno the diaper with the crosslink going through the pan will probably look and work like a diaper that has factory motor mounts as my 69 Camaro had.

As for those with ridiculous oil pan configs, just put the stock style one back on and the problem is solved. Who cares about the 20-30 hp you lose. What is a tenth when you're still being out run by 4 tenths from a cobra jet or challenger with a diaper.

I don't wish this upon anyone, but some of you guys need to get the shiz knocked out of you when you crash up your 100K racecar from an oil down. secondly I'm not paying for your car either when I *** end your antique because I oiled down the track and slid into your lane.

Think of the others next to you and not yourselves or how it's NOT going to fit.

As A MGR, Director, VP or a person in charge might say to you. JUST GET IT DONE AND NO EXCUSES

Rick, just a fyi, the diaper for a stock frame car is much higher. I think that model is for dragsters....

I knew we started life with diapers and ended life with them, but didn't think we would have to use them any time in between.
