How do I find my NHRA competition number?

Drivers who compete in vehicles capable of a 9.99 ¼-mile E.T. (6.39 for 1/8-mile) or quicker or 135 mph or faster are required to have a valid NHRA Drag Racing License and NHRA Membership. These drivers will be issued a Competition Number in conjunction with the License.

What is 60 foot in drag racing?

60 FOOT TIMER Measures the time it takes the car to cross the first 60 feet of the quarter-mile. This shows you how well the car launches, which affects your elapsed times. Most street-tired cars have 60 foot times around 2 seconds.

Why is a drag strip 1/4 mile?

Many classes in NHRA drag racing—actually, all but the Top Fuel and Funny Car classes—still compete on a quarter-mile course. The thought was that would allow the cars more time to slow down (from a slower speed than they customarily would have been traveling) and an extra 320 feet of shutdown area.

Why do we need number decals for drag racing?

Our number decals will add “Visual Horsepower” to your car. We make each drag racing decal set to your specifications and we can make the number match your car so you will not only be fast but you will also be color coordinated. As they say “Go Ugly – Go Early”.

How big do NHRA Drag Race numbers have to be?

Description. They are available in a variety of sizes from 4 inch Numbers to 14 inch Numbers. 4 inch is NHRA’s Minimum size. We suggest going with the largest size that will fit on your door for maximum visibility. Rules state the numbers should be a high contrast color, so Matte Black on a Black car is not going to be a good choice.
