Yes we all did well. The track was very consistent and hooked great for myself. Only issue, was they were not going to let John race as he did not have a diaper on his car. I have no problem with that policy, but they need to put that on their web page in red large red letters so people don't drive that far without one. I spent 10 minutes going through every page of their website today and still have not found where it states this major rule. That is a big enough rule that no other track has, and needs to be displayed on their website in a way that you cannot miss it. Like I said, I have no problem with the policy at all though! The rest of us had diapers and were ok, but John was screwed until we found someone with an extra.

Per IHRA anything 5.00 and faster 1/8th requires it. Pretty much any licensed class requires it anymore. Don't really see how its a problem
unless its a street car he drove there

Problem was per IHRA and NHRA rules his car does not require one. The track didn't post that he needed one. So he didn't know when he went that he would have to have one but he found one so all is well that ends well.

Yes, I just think to help racers in the future they need to make that a can't miss on their website.

Eddyville requires one at 6.99. My 2 cents all cars should have them. I've said it before, I tossed a rod cap through the oil pan and diaper was laying on race track. No oil on track and I didn't crash my car. By the time I got to the trailer oil was dripping on the ground. Maria said I had a dirty diaper:)

Same here. I broke a rod and it went through the side of the pan at 186. Diaper contained it all. Probably saved my life.
