I've seen a few cars in magazines funning a hose clamp around the oil filter just wondering why this is done??

Has to be done to drag race on a proper track, is to stop the filter spinning off and spraying oil everywhere

I got harassed for not having one last time at the track. Little things that you pick up on the way. Need to hold oil breathers and dipsticks down too.

I thought it would be more common sense to restrain dipsticks, filters and breathers. Even if it isn't a rule, for your safety it should be done.
