At your normal renewal for license. At that time we will prorate the membership so the two have the same expiration going forward.

NHRA Pacific Division Director

Thanks. Does this prorating make credit card the preferred payment method because the office can determine the correct total?

All I can tell you is. That is what I was told when I called the Division office today.

I emailed Mike after reading your post. I didn't ask about Credit cards. Sorry.

Okay, I see it now..Thanks Dale

$120 per year now?
What was it last year?

$ 120 a year
Wow

I just went to renew my car number and it went from $ 50.00 last year to 120 this year.

On top of that , there is no place on the form you can fill in your current car number.

Cut and pasted from a July, 2 2015 interview with the new NHRA president:

Q. You mentioned Sportsman’s participation. Is the increased media coverage also going to cover more of the Sportsman races?

PETER CLIFFORD: There’s no plan on changing the coverage on the Sportsman races as far as from an hours standpoint. What we’re talking about with the Sportsman, increased Sportsman participation, is to ease up the requirements in order to participate at a Sportsman level. Our division directors, we’ve been meeting with them on a regular basis, and we have a plan in place in order to ease that up to increase participation going forward, so we’re going to make it easier for the Sportsmen to come race with us, and we have some really exciting announcements about that in the next couple weeks.


I hope they don't "ease up the requirements" for us too much more and I hope he doesn't have any more "really exciting announcements". This is more excitement than I can afford.

The number on my current license is my car number 6394. Is the number on your license the same as your car number?

The bottom of Section 1 has a line for it.

That's your number and it goes on the car if you are the driver.

Thanks Dale.
My membership number is different than my car number. ( 5 digits)
Car number is 3777

I figured it out now.
120 a year includes both NHRA membership and the car #.

I paid for one year's membership last month.
My car number ( which NHRA calls Competion License #) expires 2/29/16

So it looks like I need to contact NHRA and get my membership fee pro rated before I send them money.

A couple of people in this thread have the same issue with a recently renewed membership and a soon to expire comp license. I think I read in this thread that if you renew by credit card they will figure what your existing credit is and charge you the difference.

NHRA would like to simplify billing for member racers by consolidating the renewal dates for both cards.

If they are going to increase the drivers fee, I would at least like a fancier card. Gold foil. Laminated. Embossed. Maybe an embedded chip so all my paperwork was waiting for me when I pulled up to the gate every weekend. Dancing girls with flowers. Free beer and hotdogs. Covered pit stalls....
