Canopies Permit

Now we need to buy a permit to put a little ez up tent up over our cars to keep the sun off?

it really seems to be getting to the point that if you are a sportsman racer the only way you can clear a dollar at an NHRA National event is to win. You got to pay to have a canopy a golf cart fee after fee . Is the lure of winning one of these races that great? just out of curiosity why does none of these fees apply at even the biggest bracket race? Can anyone imagine what a golf cart race would cost to get into at an nhra event? Probably 5 different fees. Wouldn't donate to that terrorist organization if I hit the Lottery. Go to you tube and look up the joys of being an NHRA sportsman racer

Perhaps they should be sent a copy of the "Sons of Liberty" along with a copy of The Declaration Of Independence. John Kissel

According to title 32 the permits are for canopies over 400sf. There is nothing in there that a sportsman really needs to worry about

From page 1 of 2 on the Temporary Canopies and tents document.

Tents, canopies or membrane structures shall not be located within 20 feet (6096 mm) of lot lines, buildings, other tents, canopies or membrane structures, parked vehicles or internal combustion engines.

If I read this rule correctly, you can't park your car under your trailer canopy (>400 ft^2). This means every TF, FC, and PS car will not be able to use their canopies.

Guys, before a bunch of people who don't even race an NHRA class car start their usual NHRA bashing, take a deep breath and re-read the information. This is a California thing, specifically a Los Angeles County Fire Safety code issue, not an NHRA thing.

You can bet that every pro team will have thier canopies out with no issues.
