          The most dangerous and scariest part of the race car is the driveshaft. That thing is nothing to mess with. East coast mods run a different transmission for the set up also, at least to the best of my knowledge. I would not want to sit over a driveshaft. They are nothing to be tangled with.

                    I agree that you should use a CF shaft, not all tracks allow them but most do. Some limited cars they don't. Also you still have parts with a ball spline. Shaft, end yoke... They do not go to nothing some parts will stay attached we are just further away from them currently.

                      Interesting link, horse jumpers use inflatable vest, when your cord attached to your saddle is pulled as you fall they pop out. Works great except not really a carry over to racing and much lighter loads. Still a cool idea.
