Off Subject: National Dragster

You can be a associate member under a full member and you do not receive the dragster. My wife has done this for years. You still get every thing else.

I got my renewal notice last friday, It went straight into the trash can.

Are there any other publications that cover sportsman, like the old Super Stock magazine, or anything?
Is Drag Illustrated worth the subscription?

Unless I`m mistaken, to race at a LODRS or NHRA National event, you need to be a current member of NHRA, correct? I know that I have had my NHRA membership card and permanent number card checked out several during Tech. So, doesn`t no National Dragster=no NHRA membership, which =`s no National, Divisional, or National Open racing?

I just renewed my number & NHRA membership, and being that I live 1/2 hour North of the US/Canada border, I get the "honor" of paying an extra $36.00 a year to be a member.

The only things I look forward to anymore in ND are columns by Evan Smith and David Reher. And the occasional Featured Flyer....

I have been a member since 1969, mostly for ND and the rule book. ND has become...? and no rule book!, I compete a little at some NHRA tracks, so I will continue mostly for the extra insurance.

Good Luck in ever collecting any of that extra insurance.
It is not going to pay anything.
Been there and done that. It is a joke just like what you pay for when you enter the National Event.
The National Event Insurance is just letting the Sportsman pay the Entire Events Insurance Bill. Yes you cover the spectators when you pay that enhancement.
The death at Phoenix in 2010 of a spectator is why the enhancement with more of an insurance bill came about this year.
We just keep getting screwed and keep coming back. Me included but I don't like it.
Yes you do have to be a member to Compete at the NHRA events.
My 2 Cents

Hey Rory,
If you use a U.S mailing address you don't have to pay the extra dough, Some of our fellow racers use a post office box this side if the border.
I was told last year that I didn't need a membership to race at the national opens but that might just be for the bracket racers. We'll see if they let me into stock without a membership this year.
