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...

Is the rule in effect and are they enforcing it???????????????????????????????
I believe the last guy to get hosed was Mickey Whaley.That was quite a while ago.Correct me if i'm wrong.

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.

I'm not sure the Super catogories are that much of a problem.I dont think it would be a bad idea for some of the high HP cars to have them,at their discretion.

I heard the opposite from a division director. He said he had more down time for stock/superstock than any other class.
