A Comp License??.

I haven't had comp license in awhile and want to get one back.The passes and signatures shouldn't be a problem,but the question of a med history does concern me alittle.In my past I have had three heart attacks with three stents,a minor stroke,high blood pressure,diabetics.All under control.

So I am pretty sure I can get the doctor to sign off on this.I am very sure I am all about safety and would never put anyone or myself at risk.Just not sure how IHRA or NHRA is going to take my application.

Re: A Comp License??.

My IHRA license is good to 9.0 (class D) and I've never had to take a medical. If I crack the 8 second barrier, they simply upgrade the license to 8.0 (class C).

IHRA rules
A competitor who holds an inactive license is required to make 2 complete single passes to re-activate the license.

Current physical records are required for all professional drivers.
Professional drivers have also been considered top fuel, funny car and prostock classes. If a medical is required for some other class, you'll need to check the current rulebook for that class but I doubt a medical is required.

As for NHRA, you're on your own. They do everything they can to make it harder for you to race in fast classes.

Maybe I'm wrong,but the way I'm thinking is for me to pass on the toughest requirement first might be the best thing I could do.Don't know.
