Who runs one and if you don't why not? My son will be running next year and I can tell you he will never go down the track without one even in an 11 second stocker. Herb Jr

After what happened to me earlier this year, the insurance is more than worth the cost and hassle. -Dustin 67 Dart, 9 second, 392" G3 Hemi 68 Barracuda 340 F/SA

It kicked a rod so hard at the starting line that it broke the pinion gear off the rack. I believe this car has been 7.70. Food for thought. Doug

Luckily Russ is local to me so he can fab up a blanket for my car hands on. I already have one for a small block Milodon pan sitting here, but I changed to a rear sump so I'll need another one done.... and then another for the Kevco pan on the next engine.

Thank God the other lane was much slower and had time to stop as I ended up in his lane. I run a centerlink thru my oil pan and had Dennis at DRE make my diaper. Awesome job cost about $550.00 I added some custom made bellows for the centerlink that seal up the cut-outs in the diaper for the centerlink. Total pain in the azz to change the oil but worth the safety precaution for sure. 7871853-6-15-13-R1-161-f.jpg (459 downloads) Brett Miller 447 W9

Saved our butts this year when the bypass plug in the pump came out at Beaver Springs at the finish line. Diaper caught everything. Get the bushings for the center link from Mike Roth. Makes removing the center link a breeze. 7872230-image.jpg (310 downloads) Last edited by Dads426; 10/01/13 02:14 PM.
