I am planning on being @ PIR for these tomorrow night. I don't know if anyone else will show, but I thought I would post this just in case. These are supposed to be "all night" events, under the lights.
If you run under 14.0 you need:
1. A helmet w/Snell rating of 90 or better.
2. A drive shaft safety loop. - I'm puttin' one on tomorrow.
Hope to see some folks there. My GTO is pretty easy to recognize. I have black/silver penstripes on a Barbados Blue '04. Come by and say howdy.

I heard you only need a driveshaft loop if you are on drag radials or slicks. If not I need to order one ASAP, as I hope to be under 14 seconds ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
I am gonna try and make some of these this year, I hope they let my car run since their web site says there is a 90 db limit on the cars, I think my car exceeds 90 db

I could be wrong about the drive shaft loop requirement. I got that from the basic technical requirements page on the PIR website. It didn't say anything about which tires you use changing the requirements. It wouldn't bother me if I was wrong or not, as I should have a d.s.loop coming to my doorstep tomorrow.
I would think it would be better to be safe than sorry if you needed one and didn't have it, though. Here's a link: http://www.portlandraceway.com/docs/Basic_Tech_2005.pdf
When I told my friend this morning that I was going to put one on my car, he told me, "with the foot you have, it's probably a good idea anyways." I laughed and took it as a compliment. I did lose the driveshaft on my '73 Buick. It was old, and the rear CV joint just finally gave up. Oops!
Happy motoring,
Maximental

I should probably order one, better to be safe than sorry.
Anyone have any recommendations as to the best fitting driveshaft loop? Did a search but there doesnt seem to be any concensus at all.

On a different note, I hope I don't get rained out tomorrow night.
