Engine Diaper Clarification
 
DRE Engine Diapers has recieved several calls about rules on diapers YOU DO NOT NEED A SFI DIAPER and keep in mind if you buy one worring about rule change they are dated and you have to pay to get recerted. I just wanted to pass this along we have SFI diapers but we dont sell any .If you need help or have any questions dont hesitate to call 217-454-5289 Diaperman

Do you offer "ballistic" type diapers without the SFI tag? I was also curious if I could run an expired SFI tagged diaper in S/G where we still don't require SFI?

I have Kevlar diapers .If it is an SFI diaper and is out of date it is no differant than a set of seat belts it is not legal and could keep you from racing

So the Kevlar are available non-SFI? How much are they? In my case it's a BBC "truck" pan in a tube chassis.

On the seat belt issue, I thought you could use expired seat belts in a car that is not required to have an SFI-spec harness (i.e., 11.50 & slower).

Hard to believe the non SFI diaper rule would be different than the seat belt rule. My seat belts in my stocker are out of date, have been for 5 or 6 years. A few tech guys have questioned it and my response is, "I have the original 40 plus year old seat belts in the glove box, I can put them on and be legal, will I be safer?"

I agree Bill ,I was answering a question ask me about the SFI diaper .NHRA has told racers this so you can do what you want .If you are at a track and a tech guy says it is not legal then what do you do .

Cut the SFI tag off and go back through. Throw some water on your face and tell them how big a of a PIA it was to change out.
