NHRA drug testing
2 or 3 years ago NHRA was conducting random sportsman drug testing at national events. I was 'selected' at Charlotte a few years back. They still doing that? Haven't personally heard of anyone being tested lately.

Re: NHRA drug testing
Looks to me like the people in charge need to be tested,not the racers. Rick.

Re: NHRA drug testing
NHRA tested about 100 lucky racers at Topeka KS in May of 2016.
I was one of those lucky racers for the first time since the testing started. Filled the cup and had to do the breath test on the machine. I do not know how I missed out so long but it was a fairly easy test even for a old guy and I did not study for it either. I did see the list when they were crossing off my name and I think it was 4 pages long. I just guessed there were about 25 people per page. I thought that was a lot for a single event. Maybe they only do it at a few races a year and fill their quota for the year. Happy Saint Patricks Day! Rick in TX |

Re: NHRA drug testing
Does anyone have any idea how much money it costs to drug test NHRA participants?
I was selected at work last week. I learned it costs the agency I work at $300.00 for each test. I was thinking it was $50.00 or so. The testing could run into plenty plenty money.

I believe the answer is much more than $50 when NHRA contracts with a crew to do all the testing. There is a paper trail with a chain of custody on each sample and requires lots of documentation as you probably know from being tested. I believe NHRA does not have a choice as this type of testing is required by law by the Department of Transportation or some other Government Agency which has oversight for NHRA's safety of operation. I worked in the natural gas industry and those employees who worked on the pipelines or compressor facilities to be tested at a certain percentage randomly each year. Office personnel were excluded unless it was a field facility. Just My Experience. Rick in TX |
