General Information
Each driver/rider of a vehicle entered in any event conducted at an NHRA member track must have a valid State or Government-issued driver's license beyond a learner’s-permit level or an NHRA Competition License subject to inspection by officials at any time. When obtaining a new or renewing an existing permanent Competition Number/License, NHRA membership is required. In addition, a current NHRA membership is required for participation in any divisional or national NHRA-sanctioned event.
A license issued by NHRA is to be used only by the driver to whom it is assigned and it is restricted to the categories listed on the license. The license is valid until its expiration date or until revoked by NHRA. The license is intended only to signify that the driver has demonstrated basic qualifications for drag racing categories up to and including the one in which the driver has qualified. The license does not convey a right but rather conveys a revocable privilege to participate in events.
