Stocker driveshaft

Rodney lives down the street from me. He said it. Who's Rodney Kink?

[Mark Yacavone]

I think there's a better chance of Rodney being related to ML King,...or Don King

One guy suggested wrapping it in a very thin sheet of metal so a magnet would stick to it.
But it seems like that would come undone after a few runs......CREATING HAVOC & DAMAGE ! ":-(

the rule book doesn't say you can't run one made from carbon fiber.

[Bill Belden]

Yes it does

[FED 387]

No CARBON FIBER driveshafts!!! No aluminum driveshafts unless OEM---says nothing about mixing a shaft from one year to another tho---- my take on it--Comp 387

[Chris1529]

what about emt conduit?

Before they put the wording in the rule book roughly 10 yrs. ago regarding aluminum driveshafts in older cars, I installed one and did a back-to-back test and picked up absolutely zilch in e.t. The same race I tested it at, they were using a magnet to check the driveshafts on every stocker that went across the scales. At the end of that year, they banned them on the older cars (that never had one as O.E.M.). Needless to say, that driveshaft suddenly became a rather large and expensive door stop.
