vls have a 2 piece so being bolted up to the floorpan in the middle acts as a talishaft loop. tailshafts loops as ank said are only needed for single piece tailshafts.
you will need a loop to enter most events whether it be burnout comps / driving events / drags. its a pretty standard thing and goes with a race helmet / tight battery.
so yes yuou will need one if you are testing / tuneing off of a dyno.

ita true im a gun
if you go a solid tail shaft you already have mount points to add a look cause of the middle bracket section of the 2 bit shaft
bro there a universal item its like a flexi fit hat 1 size fits all lol
they have cut one side off the loop here but gives you an idea

Good idea using the 2 piece mount points. I'll direct my browser over to VPW for a look, could make your own very easy

I thought they had to be a certain distance from the back of the box, if racing under ANDRA rules, not sure though??

Whilst it's nothing special, VLs come with a body brace, that acts as a sort of loop. It can prevent the shaft from hitting the ground if the front uni shatters.

I wonder if your Avatar may explain some of the problem.... ..... (BTW,how'd you get on with your vibration ?)
My mates running 10.6s with a 2 piece and never done a centre bearing (dont think its any special type)
Anyway, don't quote me me, but im pretty sure ANDRA rules suggest a Tailshaft Loop to be positioned around 6 Inches rearward of the front UNI (thats where i put mine)

28-05-09, 20:39 GMT+10#19 u need a tailshaft loop even if u have a 2 piece.... ive been booted out for having no loop and i have a two piece...
has to be no more than 150mm away from the where the box and shaft join.
also u can get a 2 piece made up that doesnt break... mine is rated to 1000hp.
