GLENDORA, Calif. -- To increase sportsman racer participation and support member tracks, NHRA will streamline its competition license program effective January 1, 2016.

Updates will include three new classifications: Professional, Pro/Sportsman and Sportsman. Certain levels of competitors in the new Pro/Sportsman and Sportsman categories can obtain a license without a medical exam and will have a lower fee to boost entry level participation. Licensed racers at this level also will enjoy a simplified online renewal process.

In addition, all NHRA competition licenses will now incorporate NHRA membership benefits, including catastrophic medical insurance in effect at any NHRA member track or NHRA sanctioned event. Existing license and membership expirations will be merged into a single expiration for current licensed competitors as they are renewed.

"This revised licensing process will make it easier than ever for those who want to race competitively in one of NHRA's national touring series or as an ET racer at their local NHRA member track," said Peter Clifford, NHRA president. "The process will become less complicated and more streamlined for all involved. We are looking forward to increased competitor participation across the board, and especially at the grassroots sportsman ET level, through this updated licensing policy."
