Electronic Credentials Required For Parking

63corvette · 01-28-2009, 10:04 PM

I just received an email from NHRA which I copied below as I am entered at the Arizona Nationals and have been for a month or so.
The last paragraph is very important.
Basically if you do not have the electronic credential you do not get pitted when you get there.
What a Deal !!
Everyone needs to be ready. No more showing up then getting credentials after parking.
My 2 Cents

Just curious I know most people do have a computer and internet connection but what would you do if you didn't. Does NHRA just assume that everyone can print electronic credentials.

63corvette · 01-30-2009, 10:06 AM

I think if NHRA sees you sign up electronically they assume you can print the credentials from that same computer.
For someone who travels the circuit this will require them carry a computer and printer and have a wireless service or have friends with computers on the road.
I do not like going to a library to use a public computer as some do. When you put in passwords you never know who then may have them on a public computer.
I think it will be interesting for the sportsman competitors at the first few races when if as said in the email parking will not be allowed until the competitor has credentials. That could mean you don't get parked until the NHRA crew gets there to give out credentials and that has always been well after tech starts. NHRA could be running off more of their customers with this deal if they do not park the competitors as they arrive.
I guess we will see when the season starts.
