NHRA Driveshaft loop specs????

Has anyone got a current NHRA rule book that tells where the driveshaft loop has to be placed on our F-body cars? We know what the material size required is: 2" x 1/4" steel stock, but do they say how far back from the front U-joint they can be or have to be, etc etc.??? We are putting my SFCs on, and were going to put a loop on it while we have it up in the air. If anyone has this info, and can post it verbatum out of the rule book I would sure appreciate it.

Thanks in advance. . .

It must be mounted within 6" of the front u-joint.

Thanks for the info Stephen, you were absolutely correct. We have the loop installed now, along with the SFCs. Used a loop made by Lakewood, and modified it to fit. Also installed a K&N FIPK today. Going out to the local test & tune tonight to see how the new stuff works for me.

Thanks again. . .
