New blood

NHRA has had that rule for a couple of years. You can run the points races, but until you are 18 you are not permitted to race a National Event. They don't even allow you to sign up for electronic entry until your 18th birthday. Just went through this with Christina.

I thought they use to just follow the laws of the state they were in. I remember when Billy Meyers couldn't race his funny car at a National event in New Jersey because he wasn't 18. I know a lot of states are considering raising the legal driving age to eighteen. But I really feel NHRA should honor the legal driving age of the state the even is in. It wouldn't surprise me to see NHRA put age limit some day on some of us old farts. The Greek is my old fart hero.
