Pro Street Semi Rules
1. The class is open to three axle truck tractors with tandem drive axles. Driving steer axle not allowed. Trucks are to maintain a ‘street ready’ appearance. Vehicle license and inspection are not required.
2. The weight of the driver and vehicle not to exceed 22,000 lbs. Trucks may be split weighed at events that do not have a scale long enough to weigh the whole truck at once. If one truck in the class needs to be split weighed due to its length, all trucks in the class will be split weighed. When split weighing, the suspension must not be chained and air bags must all have the same pressure in them at the time the truck is weighed. In the case of a solid rear axle suspension, the air pressure in the front drive air bags must remain the same when weighing the front and rear of the truck. A 1% variation in the weight of each truck will be used when split weighing.
3. Trucks with air ride suspension must be equipped with chains or some type of limiting device on both drive axles to prevent the height of the frame from changing during the pull. Limiting device must not have any ‘give’ built in. Solid rear drive axle suspension permitted, however front drive must be chained or limited. Chains or limiting devices must be tight (no slack) when the hitch is measured. Four short chains or cables from the side of the frame down to the axle housings is recommended. No chains and binders going up and over the frame rails allowed. Maximum air pressure in the suspension airbags must be limited to 80psi by installing an air pressure regulator in the leveling valve supply line. An air pressure gauge mounted at the regulator in a visible position must be present to check air pressure. This is done to prevent breakage of the suspension limiting device or failure of the airbags due to an over pressure condition. Breakage or failure of a chain or limiting device while hooked to the sled will be cause for disqualification.
4. Puller must supply their own hitching device. Hitches must pull from a standard fifth wheel. Center of fifth wheel must be located in a position between the center of the front drive axle and the center point between the drive axles. There must be a minimum of 66” of unobstructed area from the center of the fifth wheel forward to the first obstruction (cab, sleeper toolbox, headache rack etc.). Hitch cannot be longer than 7 feet measured from center of rear axle to hook point. Hitch must have an adjustment range from 20” down to 16” with suspension in the ‘pull ready’ position. Hook point must have a 3.5” hole. Hitch height will be measured with suspension inflated and chains or limiting devices tight.
5. Extra ballast weight is permitted. Weights or brackets cannot interfere with hooking the sled to the hitch. Weights or brackets cannot extend more than 51” rearward past the center of the rear drive axle. Weights on front of truck cannot extend more than 24” forward of the stock forward most point.
6. Engine must be a make and model that was commercially available in a class 8 truck. Internal modifications to increase the displacement are permitted. A single turbocharger is permitted with a maximum intake wheel inducer size of 4.100”. Turbo size will be checked using a 4.200” plug. Turbo cannot be bushed down from a larger size.
