Liscence Req for S/SS

[BKSG1198]

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

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.

Yeah my Doc will handle it.......but I do know exactly what you mean.

We had some extra hoops last time to jump through and my Doc handled em perfect.

But yer right, good point.
