Yes sir. Ill shoot a few pics of mine and get em on here. We had a tech official get hurt last year from a busted u joint.

Rule as Copied From Battle of the Bluegrass Web site. ( Most places use this rule)
Driveshaft Loops:
All trucks must have at least six (6) inch wide u-joint shields around the rear ujoint
constructed of at least ¼ steel or 3/8 aluminum that will safely contain the ujoint
and the rear end of drive shaft. All shields must be securely mounted to the
vehicle. Any front shaft u-joint that is visible from the side of the truck must be
shielded to contain the u-joint and the of the shaft. A new puller may be granted a
one time wavier.
