Damien,

You'll be fine. Since you're pre-registered you should be on "the list" when you get there. But, take a copy of your receipt just in case. Once you're parked, get to credentials ASAP and get that crap out of the way. IMHO, going through credentials at an NHRA race takes WAY too long. Maybe its because they do credentials all night at IHRA races, but I can't ever remember standing in line for credentials at an IHRA race for over 10 minutes. Plan to spend at least 30 minutes at credentials in Chicago, and that's if everything goes smoothly.

From there, be polite, keep your head down, and keep your mouth shut around the NHRA staff and you'll be fine. Seriously, its not that bad, but do as you are instructed, be polite (I can't stress this enough), and it will be like any other race.

Good luck at your first NHRA national event!
