Stocker driveshaft

The rulebook says "Aluminum driveshaft prohibited except OEM". Does this mean NO aluminum driveshaft if the car did not have an aluminum driveshaft originally? - or does it mean that any car can have an aluminum driveshaft, as long as it is a factory piece, and not an aftermarket piece?

Only cars that came with it from the factory

It depends on what the definition of is is!!!!

I always thought this was a BS rule! I got cracked with a nice 3 1/2 inch aluminum years back .My beef was that it was safer then some of those pencil sticks that automatics run !! I would rather chunk a aluminum one then steel.Aluminum is legal for any stocker in IHRA

So the rules say aluminum driveshafts are prohibited if not OEM.
But how often does Tech check for aluminum driveshafts ??
Or is it just a random check ???

They slid under a few stockers in D7 last year with a magnet, I do not know what the outcome was.

Wouldn't it seem reasonable if IHRA/NHRA would cross-reference across the board?

While I would love to have one too, I think it is pretty clear from NHRA that it your particular car of choice did not have one from the factory, you can't put one in.

Far be it from me to cause any thread drift, but in the name of historical accuracy, when quoting the great Rodney King, who was NOT, by the way, related to either Larry King or Sky King, it is important to get his words exact: Can’t we all get along?

The word “just” was not included by Rodney.
