Anyone here been told that they needed to get drive shaft loops when drag racing at NHRA type track? I was looking at the rules and see conflicting where you only need if using slicks. another place said all cars under 14 secs required. NE one? Thanks.

This sounds smart a$$ and I really don't mean to be but; who cares? Drive shaft loops are what? 20 bucks? 10 ounces? A 30min install? Put 'em on there and feel safer and be prepared in case someone asks to boot.

They contain the drive shaft in event of failure.
