yeah it does. its the master rule index of dbdrag on termpro. and according to the example they use for extreme, it doesnt seem like expanda foam will put you there. there example is filling the voids in the dashboard using expanda foam.

doesnt say that. im assuming (just assuming here) that since it says as long as everything stock is able to stay intact then no it wont put you in extreme class. but its a very very vague rule. call your local db drag judge would be my best answer.

Street Division Examples:

A Street Division competitor may use 2 layers of damping material on the inside sheet metal of his roof. However, the competitor may not use 2 layers of damping material on his roof and another 2 layers on the backside of his fiberboard headliner because this would result in a total of 4 layers of damping material in this location.

A Street Division competitor may use 1 layer of damping material on the inside sheet metal of his door and another layer of damping material on the backside of his door panel because 2 layers of damping material are allowed at any given location. On the other hand, the competitor may not use 2 layers of damping material on the inside sheet metal of the door and another 2 layers of damping material on the backside of the door panel because this would result in a total of 4 layers in the door location which is prohibited.

General Restrictions Regarding Seats:

Super Street Division Passenger Compartment Restrictions

3-12a Modifications to the passenger compartment from the B-Pillar forward are prohibited.

Additional Guidelines:

The OEM headliner (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place for those areas in front of the B-Pillar.

The OEM door panels (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place for those areas in front of the B-Pillar.

The OEM carpeting (or an equivalent replacement) must remain in place for those areas in front of the B-Pillar.

An unlimited amount of sound damping material(s) may be used throughout the vehicle provided no other applicable rules are violated. For those areas located in front of the B-Pillars, the original OEM "look" of the vehicle must be retained.

An unlimited amount of spray foam may be used throughout the vehicle provided no other applicable rules are violated. For those areas located in front of the B-Pillars, the original OEM "look" of the vehicle must be retained.

Contestants may temporarily use tape to seal their air-conditioning vents, heater vents, sun-roofs, driver-side and passenger-side windows when competing provided no other applicable rules are violated.

right from the dbdrag rules for super street

taken straight from here at the bottom dBDRA Rules - Master Index

Expanding foam may be used sparingly throughout the vehicle to seal small openings or reduce vibration, but may not be used to fill voids or other large cavities (such as the dashboard or doors).

quoted from rule number 3-10a for street divisions. so it seems if your filling voids with expanda foam then your in super street. if you keep it to a minimal then your in street c. granted no other rules are broken. this is just about foam
