Catch 22

Driveshaft Safety LoopWhile a driveshaft safety loop won't give your car any performance, it's required by the NHRA and IHRA if you use sticky tires at the track. Having a loop is like buying insurance because it will capture the driveshaft should a failure occur (as shown). Without one, the driveshaft can rip right through the bottom of the car and/or it can break the back of the transmission/engine causing physical and material damage. In this case the front yoke broke as the driver (shown) nailed Third gear. The spinning driveshaft opened up the HP Motorsports driveshaft loop, but this was the only damage. View Related Article
