oil retention devices

[Ryan Horensky]

Just curious as to the cost of an oil retention device? Plus what is everybody going to do....send their cars out and have a custom made diaper installed. It's not like this is going to be a one size fits all deal. Wonder how much that would cost? I'm not exactly thrilled about this proposed rule change.

Ryan save your coin becuase after this passes what do you think will be next? mandatory HANS DEVICE probably or maybe fire proof gloves and boots to match my jacket and pants.

Guys...bracket racers in some divisions has been doing this for two or so years. There are lots of bracket racers with stock front sub frames that have addressed every issue brought up in this thread and moved forward and installed diapers. It is not that big of a deal....been there done it.

I disagree with this statement,especially the last sentence.It is a big deal if the diaper WON'T fit.My sbc camaro has no additional room between the stock front crossmember and my oil pan.I don't know any bracket racer,in this division, that runs 10.00 and slower that runs a diaper in a stock chassis car.

Do you have a stocker or an ET car?

If you have an ET car, why are you concerned?

If you have a stocker, why is your pan that close? Those cars have plenty of room for a diaper---unless you have moved the engine or are running an aftermarket pan.

Stock and Super Stock do not need a diapher .. we are not the problem case closed

They shouldn't really worry about Stock or SuperStock cars seen as we only run 2 quarts anyways. An alcohol funny car sprays more raw fuel and oil out the pipes in a burnout than we do in an engine failure.

Terry,

I probobly haven't met you since I was about 12 years old so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you are making a joke about me on here. There is no doubt my dad throws alot of time and money at both cars. Stock eliminator is his passion and he works very hard to make sure both cars are competitive and fast. I also appreciate every opportunity in racing that has been given to me since I was old enough to start driving. I consider myself very lucky and very fortunate. But honestly you don't know me, what parts I spend money on, what work I do to the cars, etc. So please keep your opinions to yourself if you're being serious. If you're joking....sorry I took it the wrong way.

So 7 pages into this I guess I'll ask; Why do I need an "oil retention device" on my 13 second Stocker when a Bracket Dragster doesn't need one till 7.49?
