Driveline safety loop

My local Drag strip rules say I need a driveline safety loop if you run faster than a 14 sec 1/4. Any of you guys run anything like this? Where can I get one?

Tell them you drive a C5 Corvette and it already has a factory installed safety system....Besides the Torque Tube there is the drive line reinforcement plate that is held in by 36 bolts. You are good and the C5 is exempt from this old technology requirement....
Now, if you plan on doing lots of drag racing I would recommend one of the differential braces being sold by forum vendors.

That rule is for exposed driveshafts your shaft is enclosed inside a tube it can't possibly come off and dig into the ground and flip the car, like an exposed shaft.
