Liscence Req for S/SS

Ok, I know how I got my license (a cracker jack box:)

But, barring going to one of the "Schools" what is the procedure, and what is needed for s/ss ?

Say the car is going faster than 9.90 so they will need a card.

Now I know they need the checkout passes under "the supervision of an NHRA official" is that done at div ? do they have licensing runs ?

Like I said I went to Hawleys, and I got a SG license, but someone I know wants to drive a car, and well dont want to go school.....

What is the process ? Without going to a school ? Assuming they have a car that will tech and run that fast. Or can borrow one.

Thanks

Chris

Re: Liscence Req for S/SS

Get the proper forms from NHRA
Have a physical
Go to a NHRA track make the runs.
Have a track official and 2 license drivers sign off.
You can be one of them providing you have the proper license.

Re: Liscence Req for S/SS

I'm pretty sure that you can print all the forms you need from www.nhra.com
The medical forms and the run forms should be there.

Re: Liscence Req for S/SS

No need to go to school. Fill out the forms and find out from your local NHRA track if and when they're running license runs, usually they're on a TnT day.

Did I say that ? :rolleyes:

This if for another car anyway :D

Maybe a stocker maybe not, that I cant decide ......

But new car, new driver, in the next 2 months or soish if all goes well :eek:

Re: Liscence Req for S/SS

Drooze,
As long as the car runs under 10 seconds you will need a license. Just go down to a local track in your area on a bracket night or a test and tune night (pretty sure unless you hot lap the car, you won't get all 6 runs in in one trip....it took me 2 trips to get my license). You have to make 1 1/2 pass, 3 moderate passes and 2 full passes which have to be under 10 seconds. Have the track operator and 2 licensed drivers sign off on the forms and go get a physical from your local doctor. Send all the forms into your local director if you are cross-grading and all the new forms to California. Give it about 2-4 weeks and you will get your license in the mail. It last 2 years and just make sure when it's close to expiring you get the physical and paperwork filled out a month in advance...some tracks can be a-hole's if you let it expire and have not gotten your new license or sometimes your Division Director will send you a temp. license till the new one comes in. Good Luck!

Much thanks to all, I took the "easy" way out and never looked into doing it, partially because a friend tried to lend me his car to make the safety passes in and I didnt feel comfortable with that, PLUS I know him too well, and heda driven me NUTS trying to get me to cut lights while making my safety passes......

And yes, the car will go faster than 10 so I know I need them to have a license. At Friday T&T say at Norwalk is there even an NHRA Official there ? Thats what had me confused.

Ill cal Div today though, thanks.

You don't need a NHRA official, just need to do it a NHRA track. The local track operator can sign off for you

Ahhhhhhhhh....THAT Makes sense....and it a hell of a lot easier :)

Re: Liscence Req for S/SS

And the may want the physical in hand before you drive under 10 seconds. At least they should want the physical first.
Be forewarned some doctors do not like to do these type of physicals as they see it as an added liability; much like an FAA license and the exposure that goes with it.
