The lower engine containment device must cover the sides of the block and pan up to one inch of the head mating surface and extend within 1 1/2 inches of the front and rear of the cylinder case area. A belly pan may be used in the lieu of a device attached to the engine. The belly pan must extend from frame rail to frame rail and extend forward of the harmonic balancer and to the rear of the engine block and must incorporate a minimum 2-inch-high lip on all sides. A nonflammable, oil-absorbent liner mandatory inside of retention device. Any device that fails to perform as required must be replaced or repaired to the satisfaction of the technical staff prior to any further runs. here you go, for me this is doable for the belly pan WAXER

I have a diaper on my car, big block...abody....stock suspension and steering....it can be done. Check with Russel or DRE, both well under 200 bucks

As far a bracket guy on Saturday and Sunday, Im not sure Kurt's comment to me was this year the bracket racers will be ENCOURAGED to have one but it will not be manditory. In 2012 it will be manditory. We haven't had that many oil downs but when it happens...just as well go take a nap.

I lost a freeze plug and almost piled my junk into the wall, I'd like to get a diaper for my next car. But I do kind of wonder if the diaper would start leaking further down the track when things could have been real bad. 1970 Challenger, all aluminum 528 Hemi, HDK suspension, Tremec 5 speed manual

Probably....but Dennis does a great job custom fitting and using fire-retardant materials @ a very fair cost.....then there's the belly pan route No matter.....it's a good rule and could save your car and better yet your life or someone else's Rickster
