ya I realize that. but even on a strictly race veicle aren't the hardcore guys thinking of heat soak, as minimal as it may be? or see it as just another sacrifice for saftey.

Hmmmmm........regular diapers hold poop so I'm guessing an engine diaper holds/absorbs oil in case of a busted oil pan


Just a guess

Somewhat tru^ it also holds the oil pan from blowing up when a rod or piston flys out so there won't be too much debris on the track and also. Without this if an engine blows up and chunks fly off it can pop a tire and at 130+. That would suck.

Ok so it is just something to keep the "****" from getting everywhere in case there is a "oops" in the pants/engine.
