defenetly a headache saver...
ENGINE CONTAINMENT DEVICE:
Engine diaper or catch-pan device to capture oil and debris in
event of engine failure mandatory. Where exhaust header passes
directly under oil pan, two-piece diaper may be utilized. FWD
vehicles using OEM manual-transmission case must also have
such a device for the transmission, to capture oil and debris in
event of transmission failure. If catch-pan device is used, catch pan
must employ minimum 2-inch-high lips on all sides. Lips must becoved or curved inward, so as to contain oil in pan. Catch pan
must cover entire area below engine/transmission. Catch pan must
extend from radiator support to firewall and from framerail to
framerail. In all cases, lips must be adequate enough to contain oil
in the catch pan. Should a competitor spill excessive oil from the
catch pan and debris onto the track, he or she may be disqualified
from further competition at the sole and absolute discretion of the
event director until catch pan is upgraded, regardless of height of
pan lips or pan design.
Both engine diapers and catch pans
mandatory for 2008.
