Quote: There�s no way I can go wrong since there are no specifications or even suggestions from NHRA as to what qualifies an acceptable diaper. In the general section of the 2013 rule book, it states: 1:8 LOWER ENGINE CONTAINMENT DEVICE In classes where specified, must utilize an NHRA-accepted lower engine oil-retention device. In the NHRA Accepted Products page, it show which of these devices are approved. I'm only bringing this up because I would hate to see someone work so hard on making such a great product only to be turned away at a tech inspection. Hopefully it will never happen, but if it does, this might be why.

I agree with you 100% and that is why I didn't mention anything about any SFI specs. I was simply pointing out that NHRA only accepts/allows sportsman diapers shown on their list. If a sportsman diaper used is not on their list, whether it's home made or produced by a manufacture that was not listed, they (NHRA) might not allow the car to compete if the class requires one. Racer's home tracks probably won't have any problems with it however, divisional or national event racers might run into a problem. I mostly race divisionals and every time I go through tech, they ask me who is the manufacture of my oil retention device. I'm not looking to start any . As stated earlier, I would hate to see someone invest so much time making a quality product only to get shot down because it's not on some dumb list.
