Default Got my IHRA license today

Thanks to my buddy Pat for getting me there and back. Vince was also out there helping out. Also thanks to John for his continued help and we finally got a 100% clean pass out of the car. John's ideas with the reluctor wheel causing the problems was dead-on and the new bracket that Pat made is perfect. Couldn't be happier!

One 1/8th and two 1/4's and we were signed off and ready to rock. Just gotta send it in and get my card soon. Car couldn't be easier to drive. Didn't get any vids since we were 'short-staffed' so to speak but it leaves like a turd so it will be easy to duplicate at another track.

Depends on what license you're going for...in my case, 1 sub 10-second equivalent 1/8th mile pass and two sub 10-second quarter-mile passes.

Congrats on getting your competition licence. I took copies of everything before I sent my stuff in. Just in case they lost it I had back up. Now go racing

Depends on the track manager...usually at least one 1/8th and two full quarters. Have the track manager sign off (you can download the forms on IHRA.com). Then you get 3 other signatures from racers that are certified to the same or faster level that you are going for, and send the money in with the license form and the IHRA member form. NHRA is similar except you need to get a physical. And NHRA licenses are good at IHRA and NHRA tracks...IHRA is only for IHRA tracks.

Just go up to the track manager and tell them what you want to do and they will work with you.
