NHRA Street Legal Drags

From its formation in 1951, the National Hot Rod Association has worked tirelessly to eliminate the illegal and dangerous practice of street racing, and to this day, that continues to be one of the association’s primary missions. NHRA’s efforts to combat illegal street racing continue to this day with the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style program at the forefront of the movement. One of the most effective tools in the fight against illegal street racing is the establishment of Street Legal events held regularly at NHRA member tracks.

The Street Legal events are reserved for foreign and domestic OEM production type automobiles, motorcycles, and trucks. All vehicles must be street driven and drivers must carry a provincially issued proof of registration and valid insurance information. All vehicles must also display valid license plates. Vehicles participating in Street Legal events must be able to pass all highway safety requirements for the Province of BC and retain all OEM safety features.

Drivers: Registration is available at the gate. Tech Cards are $50 CAD, and are per-driver. Waivers available at Tech.
