I have heard they need to be for the pro classes but not the sportsman.

thanks Jim..

What does an engine diaper do?
-When installed properly, an engine diaper (or lower engine containment device) will keep oil and debris from getting onto the track.
How hard is it to install?
-It’s very easy to install! Because we incorporated quick release buckles and 4 simple straps, they install simply and snugly around your engine.
Why do I need an engine diaper?
-First and foremost, safety. A DRE engine diaper is much cheaper than replacing a car. Having a DRE engine diaper also means less track downtime. And there are IHRA and NHRA requirements.
What diaper are Sportsman required to run?
-You are only required to run an NHRA accepted diaper, as per chart on NHRA Website.
What is SFI 7.2?
-NHRA has changed the rules. You do not need to run a SFI 7.2 diaper to any sportsman car.

for sportsman there are no specs but it must be on the list. translation NHRA got paid to "inspect" an item that has no specification for safety or construction and add it to their approved list.

If you make your own diaper it can only be used on cars that don't require them?

That looks like really nice work. If I had a sewing machine I might attempt it but I don't. I do have welders though so I think I'll make a belly pan instead.
