You have to have either a valid state drivers license or an NHRA Junior dragsters license.

State issued DL and consent form if you are under 18 (from what I have seen).

I know you race at own risk, but as a minor I think you need parents to sign off because you can't enter contract or whatever you want to call it.

CYA in effect

According to my sources.........................

At any NHRA facility, regardless of whose event it is, you must have a valid driver's license, or NHRA competition license. The Jr. Dragster license is not valid in anything but a Junior Dragster.

Also, if you are under 18, your parent(s) or guardian must sign a Waiver and Release form. I don't know if these rules are enforced at every track or at every event, but I'm told those are "the rules".

You might check with some other people who already race at your local track, and find out how strict they are on this. Always good to be prepared.

Yea but do you have a car fast enough for a license pass? The slowest competition license is 9.99 correct?

as far as i remember they dont ask for ID at the gates. Anyone can put in a false DL number on the forms at tech . What would they know. I know plenty of people race with no license. Doesnt mean i condone it though

my thoughts exactly ive been to 4 tracks in 3 states and never have the asked for an id, and this is ever since i could drive, its not public road, its not police jurisdiction its private property so if there is any drivers license rule its to keep dumbass high schoolers to a bare minimum and you really cant blame them

I never heard of a age limit.. They don't ask for a Driver lincese when you stage your car so why worry.

if u drive your car to the track, they arent going to ask you if you have a license or not. you just sign in and fill out a card and go to tech. Theres no where there requiring you show id or a license.
