tailshaft loop is to ctach your tailshaft in the event of you breaking it to the point it drops

If your car is going to run quicker than 10.99 you need an ANDRA license (the ANDRA website link is here) ... my understanding is that entails keeping a log book (which you must have when you run), doing 'license runs', your vehicle has to be tech inspected and you get a rule book. I'm sure there is much more but that's what stands out for me.

"IF" you think your car is going to be quicker than 10.99 you guys need to get on to getting an ANDRA license or you won't be able to run anyway. There is a turn around time no doubt.

I'll run this post by Willowbank as I have all the rest and let you know their comments also.

Don't forget these are for your safety. If you car is going 110mph and happens to get loose and hit something you will be glad of all the safety gear!

Oh yea, forget about it. Hey Grumps - mind if I pick your brains at a later date regarding these 5 point harnesses?

Sure. If I can't help I have a hotline to the chief steward / vehicle inspector!

Post #278

cool. will be waiting to here bout what rules are with tailshaft loops. Grump2 may have an idea since he has an 8sec car that im sure probably gets run down the track a bit and he may have a good recommendation for what sort of harness to get
