I was told last time to the track if I was to be allowed back, I would have to at least have to have a 'loop and helmet... I have the helmet and take it every time I go but normally the track doesnt say anything about it, so....

-but next question is, how are you guys running without them? just going through 'tech and saying, "hell, it only runs 15's" or do you actually have them?

I have been looking at some universal ones from Jegs and Summit, but I dont know if they will be long enough to reach between the frame rails... if you have one, please post up pics or just a good description of how its in there... I'm tired of worrying, "will they let me on the track this week??"

I have never been asked if I have a loop, dont know that one is required but for anybody with a power-adder (FI/N20) has to have a SnellM2000+ and a firejacket.
I rarely get asked to open the hood.

I just got a universal lakewood driveshaft loop. I'll snap some pics of it tonight. Unfortunatly, the guys at Sac raceway know me well enough that they always check under my hood and for a helmet. I've never been told about a driveshaft loop but I got one when I swapped tranny's and had a new driveshaft built. I figured I would rather be safe than sorry. As far as the fire jacket is concerned, I haven't been out yet this year to see if they ask. I know it's a rule but if I can avoid having to order one then I'm going to try.

I was told that I need a loop on the front shaft and the back I am currently working on a set. I tell the tech guy it runs mid 13s and he just asks for a fire jacket and a helmet (as mentioned above). I ran a 12.022 and was immediately told to go back through tech where they told me about the loops. They even told me to consider a roll cage if I plan on being in the mid 11's. I typically go to a small track where it is kind of hard to hide a full sized truck running my times so they will be looking

I wouldn't mind seeing some loops as well I know there was a past post with pics in it,...remember seeing Parish's.

The firejacket is only like $75 delivered from Summit. Everyone seems to buy the same jacket, it's funny when it's a little chillyto see a hundred guys wearing the same jacket.

I just dont want to order it, and try to fit it in and not be able to reach far enough...

ben did they tell you this when you ran it with the slicks?
nhra requires a ds loop on 13.99 or faster vehicles w/ slicks.
also 13.99 or faster requires a helmet.

they never mess with me b/c i run et streets.

get yourself a piece of steel 3/4" X 2" (boxed) and weld or bolt it on frame rail to frame rail. There is your "platform" to attached a loop. I turned my 1 piece shaft into a 2 piece so this "piece of steel" is my support for the carrier at the moment. I have a loop welded around the carrier (looks good at a glance, but probably wouldn't work very well as far as application goes). I am getting ready to ditch my 2 piece if the knocking under my truck is a U-joint and nothing serious as in trans or cough cough motor and then I'll use the bar across frame rails to attach a loop.

Here's what I did for mine. I still have to make one for the front, though.

I get dirty looks every time they see the bottle... even on street tires. I guess I'll just get one to sut them up... my truck's slow, it wont be throwing a ds any time soon
