From the DHRA Sled Pulling Rulebook!

Hitch:
The hitch must be a "Reese"-style hitch; reinforcements are permitted. Trick hitches are prohibited.
The hooking point must be the rear-most point on the vehicle and must be rearward of the stock
location of the tailgate. The hitch must be horizontal to the ground and stationary in all directions.
Bumpers may be notched or removed. The hitch's height from the ground may not exceed 26
inches. The hooking point must have a minimum 3.00 inch inside diameter opening for the sled
hook. The hooking point will be measured to the center of the clevis loop.
