new NHRA License cost 1/1/16 - Page 2

Floyd Staggs · 01-03-2016, 06:16 PM

I got my membership renewal yesterday and it expires 3-31-16. My license expires 1-31-16 and got nothing for it.

Ok, but that's two months different. My license expire 11/30/15 and the membership runs to 11/30/18. 3 years, a bit of a difference.

NHRA does not send anything out for Competition License renewals. You are responsible for knowing it is expiring and to renew.
They only send out renewals for NHRA membership or that is how it has worked in the past.

If they start sending license renewal notices that would indicate that they actually care that you race. That would be nice. They send me a renewal notice for the NorthWest Nationals 8 months before the race date. And that's as a spectator.

Couldn't they now email a notice or two at set intervals prior to the expiration date? Should not be hard to add that to the software as they already have your email address to enter right?

I have had a Competition License since the 80's and the only reminder of the expiration has been lately on NHRA Racer.com. Every so often they post a note to look at your expiration date.
I have always set my expiration dates for everything to be in December or January to make it easier on me. My License, belts, flexplate, shields etc. all expire in the off season so it is easier for me to keep up with. I am old and with expirations throughout the year would not be good for me.
The License reminder would be something that should be easy to send a reminder via email as it is on Membership. The racer sends money in both cases to NHRA so it should be in their best interest to send a reminder for everything that the racer sends them money for.
Should be a no brainer.

I have always been sent reminders in the mail for my competition license renewal. And not just 1, as I am not renewing until I need to. Our division office is local, so I go in to pay, unless that is the difference on getting notices I am not sure? The notice comes from Glendora.

I have the same issue with ND not being synced with my competition license. It would be nice to have the same date for both items when filling out a tech card. Since we have to subscribe to ND to compete, there shouldn't be an issue with correcting the subscription to match and be due at the same time as our competition number.

I spoke with CA this morning. When you are ready renew your license call 800-859-9111. If your have a credit due because your membership didn't end when your license expired they will tell you the amount to deduct from the new fee structure. Since my membership was paid thru the end of 2018 I have a credit of $128 to deduct from the new fee's when I send in my renewal tomorrow.

Can someone interpret this mumbo jumbo for me?
What does it mean to ME, in other words?

Double post

Okay let's put it this way.
I have an NHRA membership and Stock number ...Both expired ,less than a year.
If I want to drive a 12 second Stocker in April, what do I need to do?
