Hard Card Allotment
The hard card will take the place of your paper credential and will act as a Restricted Area Pass.
Each driver is issued one hard card, regardless of how many licensed categories they hold.
The hard card will be printed with a barcode and will only be active for the National Event you are registered for.
The Number of hard cards made available will be based on a competitor's Gold, Silver, Bronze Card status.
The table below is a breakdown of available hard cards by category.
