Are you putting on the Ford Racing safety loop?
Nope, not yet. I am not too sold on a loop since I have a Pro Chamber that will prevent the driveshaft digging into the ground as well as a loop does.

Will a track stop you if they find out you do not have a loop w/ the driveshaft or can you convince them the midpipe will do the trick?
I heard a track requires you to use one?

With slicks, you have to use a loop...I don't run slicks.

What kind of difference do you think it will make in your track times? A tenth? I have an auto, but I heard someone say you can use the stock yoke (I believe thats the word) and it would work?

I've heard the same thing about the yoke but I'm not sure. I would think Someone on here would know. I really doubt that it will give you a tenth on the track, their only good for about 3 RWHP at best but they are stronger and have less vibration then a steel one, good luck.
