Does your track require you to have license at 10.99 and quicker?

Mine is expired, I need to figure out what lic. I need to get....this track is requiring an IHRA lic. for anything faster than 10.99 this year

Also whats the deal with the IHRA insurance?


I would ask on the track forum but I can't get signed on....

 

Our tracks only require lic. at 9.99 or lower.

 

I thought all of them were that way....but they handed out a flyer sunday to all the mod/no box drivers

 

To the best of my knowledge, both NHRA and IHRA tracks "only" require an "Advanced ET License" starting at 9.99 and below (faster). Therefore, as-long-as you're running 10.00, or slower, you're good to go and don't require a license! Check-out the attached NHRA link.

I know that, its been like that for years. But this is a track rule, I guess its to weed out alot of the "street/grudge racers" seeing as they always bring alot of drama and this was only for e.t. points

 

Many of the street racers that show-up at our track can't meet the tech requirements for 11.49 and faster. Typically, no bar/cage, 5-point harness, fire jacket, Etc.

I enjoy the NHRA group of racers I compete with. Everyone has their $hit together (experienced/safe) and are professional.

at my local track im running the et points for the first year this year... and i need an IHRA License no matter what times u run.... i need a competition license or something i think...???

 

It is probably an IHRA "competition membership" and not an "advanced ET license."

its just the reg lic. with no physical.......

WD when you start racing? we did a test last week and ran a race sunday took 3rd.

Try again this week...points starts in 3 weeks

 

This Saturday (Mar 15) is our first NHRA Summit Series bracket race of the season at the local track. I run in No-E Fast and the competition is very tuff.

same here......everyone is dead on the dial and cuttin the tree down like a pro

 

At national and divisional races it's probably mandatory. Our track runs under IHRA rules. Last year I was running mid to high 9's with nothing more than a valid government issued driver's license. I don't think they really enforce it during local bracket events until you get into the 8's where a lot of other rules start to change. I had an IHRA D license a few years ago but never renewed it. I'm not running in the Summit SuperSeries any more so I don't need an IHRA competition number on my car. All it took to get the license was to fill out the paperwork and send it in.

If I could get a license without having to pay for the Drag Review magazine at inflated prices to send to Canada, I'd probably renew my license.

I don't even need a chassis certification until 8.99.

NHRA rules are a lot more strict which is really forcing the faster grass roots racers away from the track. Between 8.50 and 9.99 IHRA and NHRA rules are not the same.
