Driveshaft loop and long wheel studs are required on any car running slicks. A lot of tracks have been expanding the term "slicks" to include cheater slicks and drag radials

I don't know the exact wording, but basically the studs need to stick out of the end of the lugnut at least as far as the width of the stud. So for example, if your wheel studs are 1/2" thick, then they need to stick out of the end of the lugnut by 1/2".

Cheap insurance. It's not like a loop is a couple hundred dollars.

Wrong... Per NHRA rule they only need to come out past the washer on the shank of the lug nut

Yea, not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. A 1/2" stud needs to stick into the hex portion of the lugnut at least 1/2", not out of the end of the lugnut.
