Diaper DIscussion
Guys,
Has there been a recent change in the NHRA rules concerning the recertification of diapers. My rule book says thatSFI 7.1 diapers need to be recertified yearly, and that SFI 7.2 diapers have to be recertified every 5 years. Is this still true? The reason I'm asking is that one of the diaper companies has told my friend that diapers no longer need to be certified. Thanks in advance Bill |

Re: Diaper DIscussion
not sure if its true but (you may want to double check with NHRA) I heard that if the diaper is certified it MUST be re certified as necessary but if it was always an approved diaper it does NOT need to reinspected / certified.
Thats the way it was explained to me! |

Re: Diaper DIscussion
This is true ,if you buy a SFI Diaper it will have to be recertified every year or every 5 years that is the rules.This is the main reason why I tell guys to buy the NHRA accepted diapers.

Re: Diaper DIscussion
There is a new product I have seen recently that is better than a diaper....well maybe not for you diaper salesman but better for us racers. It's a plastic bellypan/tray that has straps to attach it to the frame rails. Don Davis is selling them. I also have friends who had the belly pan installed and I think that is way beter than wrestling with the dipaer...I have an RCI SFI 7.2 on my car right now.

Re: Diaper DIscussion
O.K. Guys here's the deal........
The 2008 Rule Book does not have the Revised Ruling regarding Oil Retention Devices. The rule was revised on 1/15/08 and is on NHRA's website. Unless you run in Top Fuel or Top Alcohol (who needs to run a 7.1) you are NOT Required to run an SFI Diaper. You are only Required to run an "NHRA Accepted" diaper which needs NO Recertification. The 7.2 is No Longer "Required" in ANY Classes! However if you already own one it is "Permitted"
