I think it is a move in the right direction by NHRA
I'm 65 and have to pass a class 11 FAA Medical to keep flying. I had no problem with having to get a medical for NHRA.
It was just a big hassle. My Dr. never really liked doing the NHRA and the designated FAA Dr./Examiner did not want to do the NHRA.
I've always felt there are too many things that hassle the sportsman racer that runs a limited schedule on a strained budget. This could be the first step in releasing the strangle hold on the sportsman's wallet and brings a few of us "Part Timers" back.
