My track does it also for Div.1, however if you sign up for Points and register your pit vehicle early enough theres no charge.

New pit vehicle regulations are being implemented by NHRA. A divisional pit vehicle registration will be required for each pit vehicle. The fee will be $10 per year, per pit vehicle. This fee will allow you the use of the vehicle at any Division 5 track. With the $ 10 registration fee you receive a registration sticker signifying you are registered. You will be registered on the NHRA Division 5 website for all tracks to see. This registration is proof that you are responsible for the pit vehicle. Registration for the pit vehicles will be in the tower
Are you still required to carry seperate insurance of is it included....if it is....it's not a bad deal....???????

I'm pretty sure they've been doing that in Division 3 for a few years already.

i believe we have been required to have ins for some time the problem has been kids on them flying up down everywhere people getting hit and hurt on them , it is a liability, bad enough when you see grown ups drinking and driving them, watched a guy at monster mopar get hit by a sp truck thought it was going to kill him , tore up front of the race truck , not paying attention everyone sees the issue but will not police it themselfs , so they (nhra/ihra/??tracks) have to do what we dont ,

Unfortunately in todays society it is the norm to just give the kids the keys to the pit bike, golf cart, 4 wheeler and let them run. It is a big issue at RT66 because the place is sooooo big. Not only kids on motor vehicles, but skate boards, bikes, roller blades, and talking/texting and paying no attention.
It's especially bad when they start hot lapping the cars and guys tend to be going too fast on the way to staging.
I know kids will be kids, but parents really need to pay more attention to them.

If $10 is going to break anyone who races at the tracks there in poor shape anyways.... But my thoughts also this might also cut down on the kids, and general idiots flying through the pits causing accidents, personal damage also. I have had several close calls at my local tracks with kids riding out not looking people driving in the middle of the return roads or pits, not having enough brains to think hey... "I might not be the only person in the World out today" I simply wish for stricter rules on pit bikes and drivers. This coming from someone who knows and have experienced first hand what a dummy can do at the track.

Your right, its the principle. Some may say, "its only 10 bucks", well it is now. How about next year when NHRA execs are sitting around figuring out how to increase revenue? Chassis stickers, License, Oil down fees, nat event entry fees, pit vehicle fees.... just something else to hike up in the future. This topic has no easy solution, problem stems from the fact that there are lots of "dummys" at the tracks and just like out on the roads, you have to be a defensive driver, no matter what the vehicle. Now throw in the facts that people walk around at the tracks not paying attention and in the middle of the roads, cars have scoops and limited visability, the aforementioned intellect of some of the racers/ cart drivers, and then throw in some adrenaline....people do some stupid (four letter expletive). Yes, there needs to be some accountability, but money is not going to have any effect on stopping this. Tracks need to police the pits with a no tolerance policy. People driving cars or carts too fast-they're out, underage kids driving your cart-they're out, burnouts in pits-they're out, etc... You cannot make people smarter, but you can make them adhere to the rules.
