All Super Street racers have to run an Oil containment device No matter what speed No SFI

I had issues with a diaper and my dry sump pumps, too.
So, I built a belly pan as per rules. Neat, simple on and off with Dzus fastners.. The only problem I am having is the fire retardant absorption material to put in it.
What do most guys use?
What is available?
Thanks,
Adger Smith

wouldn't that be the oil absorb pads? they come with a diaper but I am sure you can get them at most automotive stores. I have also seen grey colored ones at Wal-Mart. not sure if they are fire resistant though. a friend has a belly pan on his dragster with these in it, I thought that they would somehow blow out of the pan at speed, he looked, they were still there....

I purchased a dre diaper for my dry sump engine and it fit like a glove.....sbc with 4 scavenge lines and 1 pressure + remote filter...it all tucks up nice and neat

DRE makes a good product, but it was a cost decision. Since I'm an engine guy I've set up my car for 4 totally different engine combinations. Dodge B1-TS with dry sump, Basic BB Chevy, Basic SBC, and a splayed valve V-6 with external oil pump. I would have had to spend a fortune on Diapers just to "play" with these different combinations. The Pan also plays a part in the aero package I've built into the car. When I get back to racing I will have a car that I can study what happens with different power combinations and play with different things on the track. That is part of what makes it fun...
Thanks for the info.

You can get just the absorbent pad from DRE.

My DRE diaper fits perfect around my dry sump oil pan....Also has drag link hole through center of the oil pan. DRE IS the way to go.
