My question was because I don't think I'll be able to find a loop for a 1350 carbon fiber driveshaft that is big enough, and some people have told me tracks let them run without one. Any truth to this? The driveshaft itself has an outer diameter of 3.8"

 

haha, no they won't, not here.

 

they haven't looked underneath my car to check for the loop in years.....I'm not terribly worried anyway

 

I have a 3.5" steel shaft in mine and the SLP loop fits it with room to spare.

 

An enclosed loop like a BMR would be a tight fit, but you can always run one of the cheapo ones that is u-shaped and hugs the tranny tunnel.

I'm not a big fan of C/F driveshafts either, but that's another can o' worms.

 

at the track i go to you need a drive train loop if you're running slicks

 

My current loop probably isn't big enough, but I may check out the SLP loop...

 

The Lakewood loop looks like it will have the most room compared to everything else. The Lakewood is also the most reasonably priced. I had a BMR loop a while back and it was a piece of ****. It never fit correctly and EVERYTHING hit it.

 

A loop can be made pretty easily. You might go that route. NHRA and I beleive IHRA make you have a loop if you run slicks regardless of material.

 

IHRA and NHRA states you need one when you are running slicks.

Be safe Brother. Just have one made.
