NHRA announces changes to competition fees
Wednesday, April 08, 2009

Effective immediately, NHRA is increasing all competition fees, including license, permanent numbers, and chassis inspection. The new fees for these services are reflected in the forms available online at www.nhra.com/competition/forms.aspx.

NHRA has not raised fees in more than a decade, and, given the current economic environment, NHRA needs to adjust fees to help offset some of the increased costs for these services. In addition, and at national events, NHRA will increase the insurance surcharge.

It should be noted that these fees, even as increased, do not cover the costs for sportsman programs. NHRA will continue to subsidize costs to provide these programs. NHRA remains committed to sportsman racing, and these increases will assist us in being able to continue to provide premier racing programs at the national, divisional, and local level.

In these tough times, they should be figuring out how to make it better for people to race, not more expensive. I will be dropping all of my NHRA credentials, National Dragster. etc. If that means I cant run at a NHRA track, so be it. NHRA has always sucked in the way it treats small time racers anyways.
