Budds Creek MIR

I'm planning to run at Budds Creek this Friday for a couple runs. My question is, since I will be running my ET streets, do i NEED a driveshaft safety loop to pass inspection?

Re: Budds Creek MIR

IIRC nhra rules say 11.5 and faster it's required, and most dragstrips go by their rules, so if you're running faster than that yes

Re: Budds Creek MIR

I believe you need it if you run slicks,Dr's or as said 11.5 or quicker .Can be no farther then 6" from trans yoke. I have been a few times with my DR's and they have never checked though.If you need one I have a bolt on from Summit I will sell cheap as my new trans mount has one.

no you dont need ds loop i kno for a fact because i ran those et streets i sold u at mir multiple times and aslong as there dot et streets not et drags u dont need a loop and if your 11.5 and faster u need cage if your slower then that alls u need is a helmet and me to watch your car go fast

btw when i get my car inspected they dont even open the hood or look at it. if your car as loud as hell with prostars and cowl hood then they might check **** but most of there employees see a thirdgen and go 15 second car.

Re: Budds Creek MIR

tec there is a joke. unless they know you because you run enough. my fist couple times... no hastle. But last week it was horible. actually got an inspection. Also force to wear helmet due to trap speed.

Re: Budds Creek MIR
