National events

Been a few years sense I've raced at a NHRA national event. Do you still get the confirmation lettler from them? Also do you have to have your crew tickets to get them in or can you get them at the track when you get there. Thanks Robbie

I haven't seen a letter in years. They want you to do everything via the computer. After you enter, you can look at the enty list to make sure your name is on the list. You also need to print out your own credentials, and it is much easier to print out your crews as well. If you don't you will have to go out to the trailer, that they park out in the middle of no where to buy them and print them out.

... and when you do get to the trailer, they admonish you for not having done it on line.

You really want to do it all through http://nhraeventreg.com. And hold onto your butt... if you haven't done it in a while, the prices will knock you back a bit...

Thanks for the replys I'll take care of it on line. No the price's won't shock me everything costs more. Thanks Robbie

Can the driver print credentials online also, or do we have to pick ours up at racer reg? Thanks

Jeff Beckman · 03-18-2010, 09:35 PM

Yes you can, there will be one FREE, Complimentary Credential, you have to put your name on it and select it when you go to print all your tickets, or just this one. I always miss this 260+ FREE Credential if you know what I mean!

Keith 944 · 03-19-2010, 09:22 PM

do we need to print anything other than the ticket (driver credential)?

Jeff Beckman · 03-19-2010, 10:02 PM

No, when you get to the track and stack up to park, It saves a small amount of time to go up and get your Package from Charlie or whomever works the front of the line. It will have your Parking Pass, a Tech Card, a Pit Vehicle Permit and a colored peice of paper with schedual and pit rules. Once you park you can/should go to tech with your card filled out, dont forget your comp license and membership card. After you pass tech, you go to the registration trailer, You will need your TICKET, tech card,along with the waiver page, take all crew with you to registration if they want restricted acccess to the starting line, make sure the crew has their state ID or drivers license with them, sometimes they want your comp license and membership card. IF YOU DO NOT watch the dumb ***** HAZMAT wavemail on the National Event Registration site, they know it there at registration. You get pulled out of line and receive about a 100 page manual. In Gainesville my buddy got pulled out of line when I went behind the registration trailer to see where he went, NHRA was dumping there grey water right on the ground ??????????? Be Patient no one cares if you miss a run, seriously.
