Default drive shaft loop anyone???

Who's running one? I'm looking at the Summit brand one that is made for our Mustangs, it's NHRA approved also. I'm just wanting to know what the installation process is like. Thanks for any help.

I'm concerned for other's safety and mine, I don't feel like catapulting my car lol. Plus it's cheap, only$26. These new drag radials grip like a son of a bitch though! That's what has now got me concerned.

I bought the Lakewood brandonefor mustangs from summit. Basically you put some holes in your floor (right under your front seats) and bolt it in. My brother andI did it on a lift, so it was alot easier than being on your back. Have a friend help you so you though, one in the car and one under it.

I've got a few lifts that I can get my hands on so that won't be a problem. So this actually sounds like a pretty easy install.
