Rules, requirements, and guidelines for spectators attending NHRA national events
NHRA race fans, it’s time to strap in and buckle up for the return of NHRA Camping World Drag Racing. The roar of 11,000-horsepower drag racing engines is back, and so is your invitation to take in the spectacle of NHRA Drag Racing.
We’ve missed you and your passion and enthusiasm for our great sport, and now that we’re ready to burn rubber again, we can’t wait to see you. We’ve added new protocols — things like social distancing, face covering requirements, and sanitizing — but we’re all excited to welcome back our fans.
