My understanding is that the diaper does not have to be SFI approved, can be homemade, just so you have somthing to catch the oil and does not have to be fire proof. What if I have a small leak (that I am not aware of), have a diaper on and since the diapers are not fireproof, the leak could soak the diaper and cause a fire due to hot headers, etc.

Having a full bodied SS car makes it even more difficult to put on a diaper than say with a dragster due to header placement, tie rod running thru the oil pan among other things.

Not being required to have a diaper to race SS but being told I cannot test at my local track because I do not have one does not sit well with me.

unfortunately i am an old guy, so i remember in 1966 my dad driving at 80 mph on rte 95 in a 4 door chevy with 2 kids and no seat belts. Today I do not even pull my car out of the drive without putting on a seat belt after being run into 3 times by idiots. Think about it

i think DRE that advertises on this site sells diapers for 169.00, sounds like a good investment to me.
