Dale,
Where did you see that?
I searched last night in 2010 rule book for Drive Shaft rule. This is what I found.
2:4 DRIVELINE
In place of a crossmember, in the vicinity of the front universal joint, all RWD cars running 13.99 or quicker with slicks and 11.49 or quicker with street tires must have a retainer loop 360 degrees of enclosure, 1/4-inch minimum thickness and 2 inches wide, or 7/8-inch x .065-inch welded steel tubing, securely mounted and located within 6 inches of the front universal joint for support of the driveshaft in event of U-joint failure. Open drivelines passing any part of the driver’s body must be completely enclosed in 1/8-inch minimum-
thickness steel plate, securely mounted to the frame or frame structure.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The rear driveshaft safety loop is for Pro Mod cars. The trucks are only required to have 1 driveshaft safety loop 6 inches MAX rearward of front u joint. A loop is only required if you are running quicker than 13.99 with slicks or 11.49 with street tires.

The class rules are finalized. :ashamed:
Thanks for your rule clarifications Jeff. We appreciate your help! :bigtu:

Robert, The class rules have been the same for the last 3 LightningFests and seem to work well. We did change the ET break after looking at past class numbers.
- In previous years the break was 12.99/13.00. In looking at the break #s, the 12.79/12.80 was a move to even split of the actual class entrants.
- The 2 steps, back halves for Pro Street Lightning/HD, has been the rule for the past three events.
- We did change the Street Lightning/HD truck tires to DOT approved/labeled at Bobby's suggestion.
So, there have been little that has changed.
Final, Final Changes:
Street Lightning/HD Truck ET 12.50 and slower (bracket)
Pro Street Lightning/HD Truck ET 12.49 and faster (bracket)
Pro Street Lightning/HD Truck:
- Removed Delay boxes & Throttle stops from allowable electronics
- Removed Full Chassis requirement
That is our Last, Final, Forever, Cast in Stone, change....:ashamed: :embar:
