Last time in Haaplsalu, there was a problem with some Lithuanian cars, because they were not in accordance with safety requierments, whch are applied in all Estonian drag race competitions. I give a brief overview, what is requied, so one can participate in our races:

All Cars: Street classes (A to C): Driver must have drivers licence and car should be registered, but no valid TÜV is required. Helmet is mandatory. Outlaw (D) cars don't have to be registered.

3 point seat belts mandatory
wheels free, but any wheel modification is not allowed. Wheels should be covered.
Street classes (A to C) max tire contact patch width 10,5" otherwise free. Wider tires can be used only, if they are E or DOT certified. Outlaw class, no limitations.

Interior can be removed, but front doors should have lining. Also, front doors should open, both from inside and outside.

Minimum weights (with driver) for Street classes:

0-1000 cm3 450 kg + every beginning 100 cm3 over 1000 cm3 adds 40 kg.
2001 cm3 850 kg + every beginning 100 cm3 over 2001 cm3 adds 20 kg.
3001 cm3 1050 kg + every beginning 100 cm3 over 3001 cm3 adds 10 kg.
5001 cm3 1250 kg + every beginning 100 cm3 over 5001 cm3 adds 5 kg, but not over 1400 kg.

Up to 50 kg. ballast can be added. Outlaw class has no minimum weight requierments. Multiplier of 1,7 is used, to calculate the displacement of turbo-/nitro-/supercharged cars.

If car runs faster than 12,5 seconds, 4 point safety belts are required.

If car runs faster than 11,5 seconds then it should be equipped with rollbar. Also, such cars should have external power switch and in case if it has driveshaft, it should be equipped with safety loop. All oil tubes should have threaded connections.

If car runs faster than 11 seconds, it should be equipped with 6 point rollcage, drivers safety net and non-reclining drivers seat. Driver should wear racing suit and use SNELL or SFI certified helmet (certification can be expired).

If car runs faster than 10 second, it should be equipped with 8 point rollcage.

Cars which run over 240 kmh, should be equipped with parachute.

This is short overview, hope you understand that safety is important and that those requierments are absolute minimum

AndriusT: Idea was to have three races - race per country - one in ee, other in lv and in lt.

For first year eight cars per country would be ok, because we can use current existing events like Kohuke and give several extra runs for certain Cup.

Now problem is I cant get detailed rules of BHRA. Those people who already comes to Estonia (you shoul know Simas honda and other guys) - they only now their own class. In general I think rules are very smart because it is easier to accomodate V8 and sport compacts all together.
