NHRA competition license physical?

[Rob Petrie E395]

I know I screwed up by not asking price first (My wife has remind me several times tonite of this little fact) I went to her because everybody from my old doctors office went to work for her when she opened up in town. She kind of took over my old doctors practice only in a different location. I figured knowing a bunch of the people and my records from before would help. She never even said a word about the price of the EKG(and she knows about the insurance deal because I told her). Just said I had to have it or she would not sign off on the NHRA or the DOT. Since I am helping haul corn to the river this month I had no choice because I needed my DOT card. At the time I figured it could not be that expensive. Very expensive lesson learned.

My last EKG as a part of my NHRA drivers license physical exam in Dec 2010 was $95--- not sure what you got or paid for but since turning 55 I have had the MANDATORY NHRA EKG done as a part of that exam. I also get it done "just because" it's part of my every other year general health physical exam---Get your PROSTATE and a PSA test checked when you are at the Doc or if you're having a blood test every so often!!!! I did ended up with Prostrate Cancer never would have found it if not for THAT EXAM--I can honestly say THANK YOU NHRA for that!!!!!
Any way I digress $95.00 was my cost---FED387

Rob, you need to move to Texas.
My physical on January 3 of this year with the EKG, chest x-ray, blood test, PSA and all the other good stuff like bed over was under $1000.
We do not live in a big city either, just a small college town outside Amarillo TX.
All the best with your health and just remember a physical at our age is a GOOD IDEA...

If you needed it for your DOT you should be able to write off the cost on you taxes
