Belly Pan

[Tman]

  It's about $175. every two passes if I do it myself (dang methanol and Nitro).

Ol' One Run:

Every other year?

That is a stinging blow!

At that point an engine diaper to contain the blast, and soak up the oil to keep it off headers would be a necessity. I would think the two in conjunction would work together better han just a belly pan with drain holes...

I suggested engine diapers a few years ago but they didn't show any interest, sure would help keep debris and oil off the courses.

I wonder if that is because we are more concerned with the driver than the course in this situation.  If the oil is trapped in the diaper it is still in the car where it could burn.  In this case I think I'd want it outside the car in case there was a fire,

Maybe we could get DEPENDS as a major sponsor- even on the front of the event T-shirts!

Thanks to all, from this I see one person commented to as many as needed 1/2" holes? I'll do that and hope I can get through tech.

[Bob Drury]

  Huffy, first contact the tech chairman for what ever category you run.
  If in fact you show up and a problem is noted, I am pretty sure that duct tape would suffice as a quick fix, and don't buy the cheap sh*t, buy Nassua 357 at Home Depot.
  You may want to limit the number of holes you drill so as to keep as much salt OUT as possible.  You can always add more.

Stainless;

Didn't that rule come about due to Bob Herda's streamliner fire?

Regards, Neil  Tucson, AZ

No the rule was there before Herdas fire. At a drivers meeting the day after this was made clear.

[Huffy047]

Thanks to all, as Bob says, if the officials are not happy, "Just drill more", sometimes the simplest souloutions are the hardest to figure out.

Run a line or two from the drain holes to a catch can?

Run a line or two from the drain holes to a catch can?

Only if you don't want to pass tech...

One year I did a lot of body work on the liner. Going thru tech the guy ask, do you have drain holes, answer yes sir , 5 of them, he ran his hand over the bottom to check , I don't feel any thing, I took a feel, nothing, I had marked the holes and Stainless had forgot to drill the holes! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
