NHRA requires a competition license for all riders running under 9.99 seconds in the ¼ mile.
Unlike IHRA, NHRA requires a physical exam every two years for all licensed riders to
ensure that the rider is healthy enough for competition.
If you do not have your NHRA competition license yet, it is easy to get. After obtaining
approval from your doctor (physical exam and completed medical form), bring the medical
form and license application to any NHRA track and perform the 6 required test runs. After
successful completion of all required runs, a track official will sign off on your application,
then you simply mail everything to your NHRA Division office.
Test runs are only required on the first application. Renewal riders are not required to
perform test runs again unless the license has lapsed for over one year.

The National Speed Association Pro Stock Asphalt Sled series is pleased to announce the
2009 schedule will include 5 NSA points races at New England Dragway in Epping, NH.
NED is a first class drag racing facility with state-of-the art technology. Their continuous
facility improvements, guaranteed traction and perfectly flat racing surface make it an
excellent venue to showcase the speed and quickness of the NSA Pro Stock sleds.
To add to the excitement of the upcoming 2009 race season, the NSA Championship
points finale will take place during the IHRA National event at NED scheduled for
September 11-13, 2009. During this 3 day event, the top 18 sleds in NSA points will
battle it out for the 16 qualifying spots at this legendary event
The 2009 World of Wheels show in Boston, MA was excellent. The team from Meyer Racing (Dan Meyer, Jessie Loura, Steve Loura and Tom Patten) had their Pro Stock 1000cc asphalt sled looking great and up on display all weekend. There were lots of flash bulbs and many interesting questions from the crowd of over 100,000. The most commonly asked question throughout the 3-day show was “How fast does it go?” The best part was watching the reaction at the answer!

March 3, 2009 - South Georgia Motorsports pre-season testing
A few NSA racers were at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Valdosta, Georgia last
week doing some early testing for the upcoming 2009 season. Paul Austin (Paul
Austin Motorsports) is widely known for his tuning creativity and has lowered the bar yet
again by making some phenomenal passes on his Pro Stock 1000cc asphalt sled. One
of which was caught on video from the stands – 8.17 at 160mph!
It was a great week of testing with hundreds of Professional IHRA/NHRA race teams
getting ready for the upcoming drag racing season. Dave & Jason Dungian (Dunigan
Racing) were testing both their turbo sled and their Pro Street bike. Ron McBurney
(McBurney Racing) was also in Valdosta running his Pro Stock 1000 asphalt sled. A
few photos can be found here
NSA newcomer Brittney Marston and her dad, Jim made the long trip from Maine to
Georgia last week. Marston successfully obtained her NHRA competition license on her
new Pro Stock 1000cc SkiDoo. Ed Illgen (Bullet Racing) was also in Georgia making
passes on his outlaw sled and he too, took the opportunity to get his NHRA competition
license while there. Illgen is building a new Pro Stock 1000cc asphalt sled for the NSA
series and is looking forward to the competition that the NSA series provides. Both
Marston and Illgen will be ready for the 2009 NSA season opener at New England
Dragway on May 30th.

June 1, 2009 – Kristin Stanley wins 2009 NSA season opener
The Gray, Maine racer qualified her PCS Performance Pro Stock into the number two
spot at the 2009 NSA season opener and stayed consistent during the day to win her
second National Speed Association event.
Stanley was up against the number four qualifier,
Scott Marsh of Highland, NY in the final. Although
Marsh cut a better light and ran a great elapsed
time, his Scooterboy Racing / Big-E Racing
SkiDoo was outrun this round by the quicker
Stanley.
The semi-finals pitted Stanley against NSA
newcomer Brittney Marston of Fairfield, Maine.
Marston’s Pro Stock debut was remarkable. She ran low 8-second elapsed times
throughout eliminations – 8.503 in the first round, 8.380 in the second round and 8.412 in
the semi-final. And in one of the tightest races of the day, Marsh made a 8.534-second,
148.12-mph run against Paul Austin (Jackson, Michigan) with a 8.516-second, 152.97-mph
pass. Marsh cut a better light earning him the round win.
Seventeen race teams were in Epping, New Hampshire for the NSA season opener on
Saturday May 30th for a great day of racing.
The next NSA points event is scheduled for June 13 at New England Dragway in Epping,
New Hampshire. This will also be the first of three points events for the Wahl Challenge
series.


June 15, 2009 - Meyer Racing get first NSA win
The second NSA points race of the season is complete with the win going to Dan Meyer
(Meyer Racing) of Gray, Maine. Meyer’s CKIII Pro Stock was running consistently in the
8.4’s on Saturday giving him one of the sleds to beat all day. He opened the race with an
8.495, the second quickest time of round one, to defeat Ricky Romano. Then followed it
up in the semi’s with a career-best 8.402 to get around Jeff Cullen (Team Abbott) who
suffered a broken belt.
“This win wouldn’t be possible without my crew”, said Meyer. “Jesse (Loura), Tom (Patten)
& Steve (Loura) have put in countless hours helping me get the sled ready for the season.
We work well together and have a great
system on race day.”
On the other side of the ladder, Jay Pearl
put together a solid showing on the way
to his semi-final finish. Pearl began with
an 8.436 pass to defeat John Renaud (JR
Racing), then ran another stout 8.431
pass in a bye round, but would loose in
the semi-final with a red light to the
eventual runner up Scott Marsh
(Scooterboy / Big-E Racing).
Marsh and his Scooterboy / Big-E Racing Team went rounds for the second time this
season with a first round win over Rich Daly (Dynoport). The second round pitted Marsh
against 2008 NSA Points Champion Ken Lund
(Wise Man Racing) of Brunswick, Maine. Lund
and Marsh have had some excellent side-by-
side races over the years and this match up
was no different. Marsh was the victor this
round with his better reaction time and quicker
ET, launching him much closer to first place in
the NSA Championship points.
Meyer leaves Epping, NH in the points lead for
the Wahl Asphalt Challenge series. This highly acclaimed mini-series puts the best
asphalt racers in the country against each other with the limited edition Wahl Trophy and
$1500 up for grabs.
The next NSA Pro Stock Asphalt Snowmobile Championship Series points race is
scheduled for July 11th at New England Dragway in Epping, NH.
