Apparently the #1 isn't good enough

[Rory McNeil]

Well, technically,unless you only at one track, and use a track issued number, you are supposed to have a current NHRA permanent driver number for each class that you may run the car in. Myself, I have had the same number since the mid 70`s, and I have that number for Stock, Super Stock (ya never know!), and ET brackets, and used to have it for Super Street years ago. When you apply for, or renew your number every year or 2, its only an extra $5. or $10 dollars extra for each additional catagory. That said, there is the potential that a certain number could be issued to different people in different classes, ie; Racer A holds number 1234 in ET Brackets, Racer B has 1234 for Stock, and Racer C holds #1234 for S/S. In that case , Racer A is the legitamite user of that number at a bracket race, if Racers B&C are there to test in brackets, they have to change thier number.
Now, on a top ten National or Divisional number, I would think that in addition to holding the coveted #1 or other high ranked number, that the racer would keep his previous 3 or 4 digit driver number current, at least I would.

Pacific charges a number fee also even if you have a NHRA number.

It's a bit pricey to have a Stock,Super Stock and bracket # these days.I had 1945 as my bracket number since 1977.Got 1945 as my Stock # in 1998.I dropped the bracket number in 2007 due to cost factor.I wonder if anybody picked it up.
BTW Gary Wolkowitz (SS/AH cuda) has 1945 in Super Stock.

NHRA sure has your number if you keep buying all of that crap.

I took a look on Pacific’s website (rules section 3.8) and looks to be similar to Bremerton but better spelled out no gray areas no number required for Wednesday TT’s . If you have a NHRA ET# then you don’t have to pay the $10 for their competition #

Ed, don't know about where you live but here it looks like a wash; if you bracket race at a couple different tracks it costs you the same as buying an NHRA #

Not to steal the thread but Division 6 guys take a look at Pacific's rules section 6.6 in particular.
If I read it correctly anything 9.99 or quicker needs a diaper next year at all Division 6 tracks is this old news?

I've got a buddy who races at Grand Junction CO with a x-stocker
340 Challenger bracket car (runs in the 11's) and he had to add
a diaper to run at the local 1/8th mile track.

False.

I`m sure it all depends on the track. If you have a low digit NHRA number,the track can let you use it for your ET class,or make you use your ET or Stock number. The single digit Brad was trying to use isn`t an ET number,so the track was going by their rules. Kind of petty,I think. If someone shows up at your track with a single digit on their window,let them run it. By gosh,they earned that little number! Let them enjoy it!

[Geerhead55]

I agree,,,he earned it let him use it. What harm does it cause?
By the way,,,I left early yesterday, but got a call today and heard that Brad went to the finals in Pro ET and won,,so there you go! That paid for buying the number, and then some!

Bill, 9.99 and quicker will need a diaper. I hear Woodburn is requiring them now.
