If this is the case, anybody want to buy a iron headed 448 incher?
I have a 225/6 I can just build. Sure would be less hassle 
GREG,,,,???..!!!..it looks like a business opportunity to me!!!
Build DIAPERS,,,I'm sure you have a backload inventory of gaskets..get to work,,,expand your business,,make diapers for all of us!!  I will let you use my car for a pattern...just come on down..  
Fred I'd rather sell gaskets & seals to keep oil off the track 
I may take you up on your offer to visit and have a sometime though 
I know it's safer to have one but can't imagine the headaches I'd encounter. BB A Body with 2 #12 lines from the pan, center link through pan and the K member right close to the pan among other clearance & fitment issues.
Can you get a zipper on one to access the drain plug when changing the oil?

If it's a race car PUT A DIAPER ON IT....
Rickster
You guys that make statements like that make me laugh. Its the one size fits all theory."I've got one on mine so everybody should be able to fit one on" When this diaper stuff came up originally about 4yrs ago,I took my car over to get the cage recertified. I told the tech director to get down and look and see what he thought about putting a diaper on an A-body with a hemi in it. He got up off the ground with his head shaking. He said no way. Why do you think the west coast hemi team petitioned NHRA to let them put racks on there SS/AH cars? Because it would have been a nightmare with the drag link,#12 oil lines,the headers lay right next to the block and the simple fact there is no room.Right after the NHRA refused to let them alter the steering,they dropped the diaper rule.There were even some chevys complaining because on certain yrs the drag link is right next to the pan. Ya, having a diaper is a great idea, but on some cars is just isn't feasible.

I like the idea of a diaper.... I just don't have any idea how I will get one to work with my junk. My crossover pipe and turbo manifold REST against the side of the block. You couldn't get a .020" feeler gauge between the pipe and the block. And I don't think a pan running under the stock Dakota truck frame is gonna work either.
Now what? LOL
I guess I now have an 11.0 truck.
Come down to Tucson IHRA you don't even need a license untill 8.99

No one should be against doing everything we can to maximize safety.....but, you've got to be practical. We could all build our cars to have the protection of a 40 ton WWII Sherman Tank, and it would be safe, but would it be practical? Is the cost and the hassle worth the result? With a diaper on a stock type, N/A car, I personally don't think so. And, I am not a johnny come lately at this...I've been doing it for over forty years. I have a good cage, good car, and my stuff is up to snuff. But, you are never going to make what we do 100% safe.
Very, very seldom do you see a prepared, Stock/SS type N/A car oil the track down. It rarely, rarely happens.
Who oils the track are the guys who have the money for a 200 shot of nitrous but not enough for good stuff in the motor. Go to any local track on a Saturday night, and you'll see cars in the lanes that you would be scared to sit in while it was standing still...but it gets through tech. Or, a Pro Mod type guy who just don't have quite enough money to do what he's doing, and makes up for it with nitrous or blowers. And, of course, at the big races, the fuel boys.
Call me too cynical, but this is what I see. Once diapers are mandated, it will be discovered that your front runner tires have an adverse effect by UV rays and have to be replaced every two years, or your braided fuel lines will need to be replaced every six months, or.....
Just another way to beat money out of everyone they can.
