This is for ED ,Just to set the record straight I started DRE before there were any rules for sportsman cars.We are sportsman racers that developed a low cost and light weight diaper originaly forS/C and S/G racers that wanted some extra protection I will agree there have been some peolpe in the saftey industry that have pushed the rules,but I am not one of them.The racing industry is like any other it has insider trading.DRE has developed diapers that will work on any car for a fair price.

I didn't single out anyone.Someone,somewhere saw the opportunity to expand the market to make it mandatory to use the diapers across the board,whether they are needed or not.Sportsman oil downs are not a major problem,especially in the lower classes.If the rule reads "optional" then fine.It's when it says mandatory that it becomes
a financially driven rule.

If it were "optional" would you pay the $250. fine for oiling down the track ?
Plus the damage to your car if you wrecked ? All for a $150.- $200 diaper...

That didn't take long....
If they keep raising the ET requirement on having a diaper and make it optional and you oil down the track see if they (NHRA) don't start back with the fine. But that's my .02

As far as I can tell STK/SS is not a major oildown problem. They can't hold a candle to the alcohol, Top, and "Super" categories. If they want to reduce overall oildowns then outlaw throttlestops and make 2000 HP engines a disadvantage. A mild big block can run 9.90s in a dragster no problem.
