Basics:

Handicap racing based on a driver’s personally-chosen dial-in, which may be changed between rounds. The first car to cross the finish line without going quicker than its dial-in is the winner.

Qualifying positions are measured against dial-ins. The closer to the driver’s chosen dial-in (but not any quicker), the higher the driver’s position in the ladder.

Super Pro ET (SPET): 8.99 sec. or quicker over 1/4 mile

Pro ET (PET):  9.00 sec. or slower over 1/4 mile.

Time brackets may vary  between countries, but the split will always be at 9.00 sec. for events included in the EDRS Series. Please check what is applicable before racing abroad.

Important!
General safety regulations for car and driver will comply with each country´s own regulations in accordance with the general rules of ET racing.

Rules for Pro ET (PET) apply to EDRS European Drag Racing Events in Sweden

Pro ET is open to full-bodied cars with working doors, Funny Cars, Altereds and Dragsters.

Handicap racing based on a driver’s personally-chosen dial-in, which may be changed between rounds. The first car to cross the finish line without going quicker than its dial-in is the winner.

Dial-in may be set between 9.00-14.99 seconds (1/4 mile) or 5.75-9.60 seconds (1/8 mile). An exception is made for J15 and J16 according to Swedish rules.

Qualifying positions are measured against dial-ins. The closer to the driver’s chosen dial-in (but not any quicker), the higher the driver’s position in the qualifying list.
Dial-in should be clearly visible on the vehicle before entering the bleach-box.                                                                                                                                                                             If a qualification or elimination round is not completed owing to rain-out, local curfew, etc., the entire round will be cancelled from the final result.
Type of ladder: Sportsman, all-run.                                                                                                                                                           Organizer can limit the size of the ladder, if needed. This should be advised in the invitation, entry form or at latest in the supplemental regulations at the track.  If limited, alternates should be used for possible no-shows.                                                                                                         
Lane choice: Organizer´s choice. If not advised on the invitation or at latest in the supplemental regulations at the track, higher qualifier chooses lane throughout eliminations.
Throttle-stops and delay boxes may be carried on vehicles, but their use is strictly prohibited in Pro ET.                              
Important: General safety regulations for cars and drivers must comply with Sweden´s own regulations in accordance with the general rules of ET racing.
