Hi, I'm Tina Stull and I drive the Top Dragster for Interstate Batteries. On behalf of Expert
Village, I'm here to help you walk through the process of filling out the forms so that
you can compete in the NHRA. When it comes to an application, they want, if you're a
brand new beginner and you've never raced before. You need to go through the initial
licensing process. You need make six passes, a minimum of six passes at an NHRA sanctioned
track. If you want to know what tracks are sanctioned, you can go on NHRA.com and look
up their tracks and some of the tracks are the ones where we have national events, and
there large tracks. But there are a lot of smaller tracks and even some eighth mile tracks
that are sanctioned. So they'll accept those times of slips from them. When you're at the
track doing your pass, you do basically a half pass, which means you just go out. They
expect it to be slow. It's kind of basically can you get off the line. Then you have three
moderate passes, which are basically passes where you don't have to go full speed all
the way to the finish line. You do go full speed to the half track mark. You'll have
two full passes. Those two full passes, you'll be driving your car at the speed that you'll
be competing with within those parameters. All that can be found in the rule books. It's
a lot straighter forward than it sounds. Those are just full passes where you're driving
the car all the way through the finish line.
