Engine Diaper
Drag racing.
The local bush track now requires cars with a power adder to have an engine diaper.
They said "car like a Corvette and 2015 & newer Mustangs wont need a diaper because they come with belly pans"
Thats is as specific as they have to offer.
Then when you get to tech the guy there has his own ideas on what an engine diaper is and who should have it.
Is this something that is easily removed for service? Are they for daily driver use?
This track is concerned about engine diapers but convertibles regularly run 10.0 with no cage or roll bar.
We need Route 66 in Joliet, IL. to re open.

Sounds like the local track is more concerned about oil being dropped on the track than any safety issue like rollbars. Engine diapers are commercially available & are not that expensive... https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/5021...RoCNIkQAvD_BwE. Could be a PITA to install & not sure you would want to leave in place off the track.
