  2. ALL drivers/operators of motorized vehicles/pit vehicles must be at least 16 years of age, have a valid driver’s license (excluding Jr. Dragsters and Jr. Street), and must be covered by adequate general liability insurance. All operators shall provide proof of such insurance, a driver’s license, and any other applicable credentials upon the request of an NHRA or MRP official.
  3. MRP encourages you to contact your personal insurance agent to research the best option for you to meet the new insurance requirements for auxiliary vehicles. Your coverage options may vary depending upon your existing insurance coverage, your particular place of residence, and whether the auxiliary vehicle is licensed for street use. But, as general guidance, coverage may be obtained through purchase of an endorsement on your personal auto or homeowners policy or through special policies offered by various insurance companies. Professional race teams can secure coverage under their Commercial General Liability and/or Commercial auto policy
  4.
