EDRS
European Drag Racing Series 2012
With 27 events at 17 tracks in 7 countries the
new EDRS European Drag Racing Series is Europe´s biggest competition
series for drag racing
and it focuses on the sportsman classes!
The
EDRS European Drag Racing Series is a development from the NDRS Series
and SDL Swedish Drag
Racing League which Speedgroup acquired from Svensk Dragracing in March
2011. The base consisted of two strong well established series systems
mainly in Sweden and Finland which has been added to. With EDRS 2012 we
go European but without missing the National and Divisional thinking!
CONCEPT: 3 Divisions In the EDRS European Drag Racing Series we have divided Europe into 3 geographic divisions; North, Central and South Count the 5 best events Points from the 5 best event counts in the EDRS points system - Two events out of the 5 can be run outside the home division. Each out of division event a driver/rider wish to count must be notified to Speedgroups point co-ordinators (presented below). Home Division The driver/rider choose their “home” division before the first race (it is done online in the new entry system at www.dragracing.eu). The home division can be any division of the drivers choice.

CALCULATION OF POINTS - Points will be calculated
from the number of events per category that is stated in the final
version of
the Speedgroup Series invitation for this year. EXTRA POINTS - In SST, SG, SC, SGB and SB
does the competitor earn 20 extra points (max once per event) if he/she
during
qualifying is the first one in that category to make a pass exactly on
the
category index. The same is applied in the classes Pro ET and Super Pro
ET when
a competitor during qualifying is the first one in the category to make
a pass
exactly on the selected dial-in ET. Example #1: If a Super Gas
competitor during qualifying runs 9,900 (1/4 mile), then he/she earns
20 extra
points. Example #2: If a Pro ET
competitor during qualifying set 11.34 as the dial-in ET and make a
pass
running exactly 11.340 (1/4 mile), then 20 extra points are earned. QUALIFYING POINTS -In all categories within the
series, the competitor earns qualifying points, up to 16, depending on
the qualifying
position. Example: No 1 qualifier 16
points, no 2 qualifier 15 points, no 3 qualifier 14 points and so on.
At entry
fields of 17 vehicles or more, points are only awarded to the top 16
qualifiers. POINTS, NOT QUALIFIED - A competitor is awarded 20
points if he/she is not qualified but has made a valid qualifying run. POINTS, CANCELLED CLASS - If the class is cancelled
before qualification, present competitors in the cancelled class will
be
awarded 50 points. The entry list from the organizer is valid (the
vehicle has
to pass scrutineering). POINTS, CANCELLED EVENT - If the event is cancelled
before elimination's, all qualified competitors will be awarded 50
points in
addition to qualifying points. If the event is cancelled
between elimination rounds, all in the ladder remaining competitors
will be
awarded next round's looser points. Example: If it starts to rain and
the event
is cancelled after round 1, all in the ladder remaining competitors
will be
awarded 70 points. If the event is cancelled in
the middle of a round, all competitors remaining in the ladder at the
start of
the current round will be awarded the current round's looser points and
those
pairs in this round that has raced will be cancelled. POINTS AT DISQUALIFICATION - Competitor that is disqualified
is awarded all earned points up to disqualification if not otherwise
decided by
Speedgroup. COMPLETED EVENT - All events are completed
one-by-one. Cancelled events cannot be held at another event. ESTABLISHED POINTS STANDINGS - The point standings are considered
established 10 days after the event if not otherwise decided by
Speedgroup. The
point standings will be published at the EDRS site connected to www.speedgroup.eu
