Drive Shaft Loop w/ DR's?
I know when I went thru inspection last night at the track the guy inspecting my car mentioned I should get myself some slicks so I wouldnt have to worry about burning up my street tires, but I would also need to install a drive shaft loop. Would this be required with drag radials or is this strictly for slicks? Or is that just based on the rules of the track?

You'll need a driveshaft loop with drag radials as well. Any "stivky" tire and it's required. You'll also need it if you are quicker than 12.99 IIRC. |

 But the tranny tunnel brace would act as a loop. The chance of the driveshaft dropping out is slim at best.

I have the Moroso DSSL. Takes about 15 minutes to install and is pretty cheap.

Anytime you are going to be racing the car at the track with a sticky tire it is a good idea to run a driveshaft loop. Our driveshaft loops are easy to install and are good safety item to have. If there is anything we can help you with let me know. Kyle |
