Bill, the way I read the rules, they apply to all cars. I can see the diaper rule for a National event because of time limits. Not the locals. Hell, now they want bracket racing at divisionals to kill some time.(and make some entry fee money)

After looking at both cars I have, there is no way a diaper will fit between the oil pan and crossmember on the stocker. I may change pans-which will not be legal-or cut the crossmember, which I will not do.

The S/S car has a custom oil pan and custom headers made just for that car. If a few modifications can provide enough space for a diaper, I may use one.

Otherwise I will patronize Pro Stick and some of the TriState and ECSSS series races, and IHRA.

I'm am getting tired of NHRA dreaming up new ways for me to hand them money like insurance, entry fees, pit bike fees, oil down fees, threaten me with fines for environmental fees while the payouts won't cover the the expenses incured on the average weekend unless you win-provided you can collect any contingency money. The racer has to pay/assume all the risk while someone else reaps the benefit. You can only push so far....
