Those are the US rules, butwe are currently working with Silverline to produce a new set of rules to suit the current style of dragsters.
Basically use any hand held power tool you can, and make it go down a track as fast as it can. It needs to be able to run off a 13A socket for the normal dragsters, and anything which doesnt require a plug socket for the ride-on catagory as this is raced on the Haynes test-track.
