Engine Diaper
Engine Diaper What are you guys using for an engine diaper?
I learned yesterday that my home track is requiring them for all cars reguardless of ET for the Friday night racing program. They also said next year it will most likely be required for every event, even test and tunes. My car is street driven so I'm hoping I can find something that fits well and won't melt or creat heat soak issues.

Give us a call. We carry DJ Safety. I have them made to clear motor mounts or plates.

Up here my track doesn't have the staff or equipment to efficiently clean up oil downs. One cleanup can take 30 minutes or more depending on how far they went. But ours is 10.0 and faster will need them. I was thinking the same thing about it reducing real streetcars that are driving the hour to get there. Right now my car is the only fast street car to do that.
Its fustrating having to deal with a diaper when I designed my car to run low 10's so I wouldn't have to need a diaper, 8pt roll part, window net etc.
I put them on every car we build. I usually dont have any problem with my customers when I tell them its a safety device. You get oil under your tires from the motor you will wish you had one on the car.

Verdad Gallardo I don't disagree that they are a good idea for an all out race car, but not very convienent for a street driven car. Makes oil changes a PITA. Tracks need to think about the consequences of something like this. They want good car counts but make it harder and more expensive for entry level racers.

Madman. Do you guys ever run an electric oil temp gauge?
Since I will be driving an hour each way, I'm going to put one where the low oil level sensor is on my stock pan and wasn't sure if a provision will be needed in the diaper or not.
I was going to get it installed before I order the diaper.

I dont run one. I am more worried about trans and water temp.
