be located in the driver compartment.
Body: The body may be any 3/4-or 1-ton full-sized pickup truck body. The body must retain full sheet metal. The full bed floor must remain intact. Alternatively, two one-hundred pound weights may be placed directly over the centerline of the rear axle in lieu of the bed floor. The complete OEM firewall and complete OEM floor pan is mandatory. Metal after-market hoods are permitted. Fiberglass is prohibited. Tilt-front ends and bodies are permitted, as long as other SS class rules are met. The hood must be closed and securely latched while the vehicle is hooked to the sled.

Driveshaft Loops: All trucks must have at least six-inch wide u-joint shields around the rear u-joint constructed of at least 1/4-inch steel or 3/8-inch aluminum that will safely contain the u-joint and the ends of each shaft. In addition there will be at least one shaft loop in the middle of the 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 end of the shaft.

The retention strap must be securely and snugly fastened The helmet must have the appropriate certification sticker affixed inside it.
Harmonic Balancer: All engines must be equipped with a harmonic balancer or damper meeting SFI Spec 18.1. Alternately, If a harmonic balancer is not used and a tone ring is in place, a shield across the frame under the front of the motor shielding the damper and engine fan area is required.
Hitch: The hitch must be constructed of solid material that is properly attached and braced. The hooking point must be at least 44 inches rearward from the centerline of the rear axle. The hitch must be horizontal to the ground and stationary in all directions. The hitch’s height from the ground may not exceed 26 inches on 4wd units and 30 inches on 2wd units. The hooking point must have a minimum 3.750-inch inside diameter opening for the sled hook. The hooking point will be measured to the center of the clevis loop. The final decision rests with the NADM Technical Department.

The protective clothing must be labeled with the proper SFI specification. The NADM patch must be located in the upper-most position on the left sleeve of the fire suit or jacket.
Rear End: Rear axle bolts must be covered by a cap or shield.
Suspension, Front: The axle centerline must remain in the factory location. The final decision rests with the NADM Technical Department.
Suspension, Rear: Rigid or 4-link suspensions are permitted. Air suspension is permitted; the compressor must be disconnected.
Tires: Tires must be DOT street tires only. Cut tires are prohibited.
Tow Vehicles: Tow vehicles are permitted.
Transmission, Automatic: Aftermarket torque converters, valve bodies and internal components are permitted. Transmission brakes are prohibited. Any non-OEM floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter must be equipped with a spring-loaded
positive reverse lockout device to prevent the shifter from accidentally being put into reverse gear. A functional neutral safety switch is mandatory. All transmission lines must
be metallic or high-pressure-type hose. All vehicles with engines running 4500 RPM or more and using an automatic transmission must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and must be labeled accordingly. A blanket-type shield is permitted; it must be appropriately labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and it must extend from the rear of the block to the front of tail housing with a minimum six inch overlap where it is fastened. All non-blanket type shields must incorporate two (or one, per manufacturer’s instructions) 3/4 inch by 1/8 inch straps that bolt to the shield on each side and pass under the transmission pan unless the transmission pan is labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1.

Transmission, Manual: A clutch meeting minimum SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 is mandatory on all vehicles. All transmissions must be clutch assisted. Sequential shifters are prohibited. All vehicles equipped with a manual transmission must have a flywheel shield labeled as meeting minimum SFI Spec 6.3 or greater. Applications for which an SFI Spec flywheel shield is not available may use a properly attached SFI 4.1 or 4.2 blanket that completely covers the bell housing; it must be attached to the block and extend rearward to the transmission with a minimum six inch overlap where it is fastened.
Turbocharger: Vehicles are limited to two turbochargers only. Single turbos are unlimited. For multiple turbos, the inducer bore on the atmosphere compressor housing(s) may be no larger than 3.2 inches measured at the smallest diameter area
of the compressor wheel. A bushing may be used to downsize the compressor housing ahead of the wheel. If a bushing is used, it must be round, at least 3/4 inch long, mounted within 0.050 inch of the compressor wheel, and the inside diameter
of the bushing may not exceed the 3.2 inch limit. If you have any questions regarding the construction of a bushing, contact NADM Technical Services before the season starts. A stock map width enhancement (MWE) groove is permitted. No MWE groove may be wider than 1/4 inch. All provisions allowing air to the wheel other than via the bore and MWE grooves are prohibited. The inducer bore will be measured using a 3.25 inch plug.
Water Injection: Water injection is permitted. Alcohol, methanol, and all other flammables are prohibited.
Commercially available lube pump is allowed.
Wheelbase: The minimum allowed wheelbase is 90 inches; the maximum allowed is 180 inches. The maximum wheelbase variation from left to right is one inch; the
measurement will be made using a X pattern (LF-RR and RFLR). The maximum allowed treadwidth is 102 inches.
