You don't need to go to a school, unless you don't have a car. If you have a car, get your physical, and go to your local track, find 3 people with a license, make some passes, and have them sign off on your license, and thats that. All the forms are on NHRA's website.

Honestly... if you are a new drag racer, please get some seat time before jumping into S/C.
We've all been beginners at one time.

If you've never driven a drag car or are graduated from JR dragster, I'd recommend going to the track in an every day car for test n tune or street legal class racing. Get some seat time and experience.

There is nothing scarier than an inexperienced driver lined up next to you during a race (one nearly killed me, so I know).

SINCE YOU DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY NHRA/IHRA LICENSES TAKE YOUR PERSONAL VEHICLE TO THE TRACK TO GET STARTED-- I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE YOU TO GET USED TO BOTH PREPPING/STAGING A CAR---HOW THE TREE FUNCTIONS/REACTION TIMES ETC. THE SPEED/SENSATIONS OF AND SOUNDS OF GOING FAST AND GRADUALLY WORK YOUR WAY UP TO A FASTER RIDE---I HAVE BOTH A COMP ELIMINATOR AS WELL AS A --SUPER COMP- AND STOCK LICENSE HAVE HAD IT FOR 35+ YEARS---HONESTLY I WOULD NOT SIGN OFF ON YOUR LICENSE TO DRIVE A 150 MPH+++ CAR AT THIS POINT DUE TO YOUR INEXPERIENCE IN RACING EVEN IF YOU COULD DEMONSTRATE TO ME AN ABILITY TO MAYBE HANDLE A CAR AT THE TIME OF TESTING--I DO NOT THINK TOO MANY OTHERS WILL SIGN OFF AT THIS TIME EITHER--COMP 387

SORRY for the caps at work here we always type everything in CAPS---

I would focus on bracket racing, first at your local track, then maybe at more tracks in the region. Introduce yourself to local racers in the classes you want to race, and ask questions while being respectful of their time. Between rounds in an obvious thrash is a bad time! Once you get to know these people, MAYBE one of them will let you borrow their car for licensing passes. I have seen it done before. I got my SG license when I was 20, but it was in my own car that I scrimped and saved for (and bought a lot of cheap hand-me-down parts for). Around here the more serious class racers (Stk/SS & SG/SC) don't do much local bracket racing anymore, so you may have to go to some divisional events to meet these people. You can also offer to help crew for them, starting with the simplest tasks. It would be a good way to learn the ropes.
