Drive shaft loop?

Going to Ennis, Tx to the Texas Motorplex in a few weeks once I get my roll bar and harnesses installed and when I get my legal race jacket. A friend that works there says I need a drive shaft loop. Who makes them for the C6? I have heard of them and used them before on my '97 Cobra but I looked and can't find anything for the C6

Thanks,
Andrew

The driveshaft is already enclosed in the torque tube as stock. No need for a DS loop and protects the entire length of driveshaft. No worries, go kick some aZZ!!! Good luck

Not for C6

No drive shaft on the C-6, enclosed torque tube.

But before I posted I took a look under the car to see how tough it was going to be to install them. Duhhhhhhhh Than I remember the torque tubes.
