Pro Online Tech Card

I represent and warrant that I am the person authorized and designated by my Team (as defined below) to complete and certify the accuracy and truthfulness of the tech card on behalf of my Team under the  Participant Self-Certification Tech System. “Team” means my entire team, including the driver, the crew chief, all team members and all individuals and/or entities that comprise the legal ownership of the team and the race vehicle. I understand that everything I say on this tech card binds me and the Team, individually and collectively. When I electronically sign this tech card as either the Owner Representative, Driver or Crew Chief I further certify my authority set forth above. Only one signature on this tech card agreement is necessary. 

I will complete Team’s tech card and certify Team’s compliance with all NHRA rules. The process is subject to change so it will be my responsibility to ensure I and Team are aware of any such changes.

 

All vehicles and any and all parts or components of or on vehicles, and any and all PPE, are subject to random spot checks and in-person technical inspection by NHRA in its sole and absolute discretion (including teardown and confiscation of items, components and/ or the entire vehicle), at any time, place and manner determined by any event official, prior to, during or after activities of any nature (including any form of racing, testing, time trials, exhibitions, licensing runs, etc.).

 

I understand and agree, individually and on behalf of Team, that:

 

It is Team’s responsibility, not the responsibility of NHRA, any track official, or anyone else, to ensure that all safety equipment and PPE is approved and is correctly installed, worn, maintained, and used.

 

The driver will in fact properly use all safety and PPE  noted on the tech card during the driver’s participation in the event.

 

The ultimate condition, setup, performance and safety of the vehicle and PPE are Team’s responsibility. Team is in the best position to know this information. Team is responsible for the safety, preparation, performance, maintenance and readiness of its vehicle, and for compliance with all applicable NHRA rules.

 

Team is not depending upon NHRA or any event official to conduct an in-person or other tech inspection in order to ensure or guarantee that Team’s vehicle and PPE are safe and meet all applicable rules. Team’s compliance is Team’s responsibility.

 

This tech card is an electronic document that is equally valid as a paper tech card.

 

Like all statements made to NHRA, I and Team are responsible for the truth and accuracy of everything reported on the tech card.

 

Team is responsible for their own safety and compliance with NHRA rules, at all times.

 

While Team may work on and change the vehicle during the event, I understand that by signing this tech card I on behalf of myself and Team am verifying that at all times during Team’s participation, the vehicle and PPE meet all applicable NHRA rules.

 

Unauthorized and/or non-compliant vehicles, parts, PPE, or other equipment will not be considered approved by reason of having been used, or having passed through technical inspection, at any time, or any number of times. Having been used and/or passed through technical inspection at any time, or any number of times, is not a defense to any violation found.

 

Any item connected with any event vehicle and any PPE used by the driver at any on-track event must be listed correctly on the tech card and must comply with NHRA rules. If anything changes from what is stated on Team’s tech card, I will immediately notify NHRA Tech Officials on site.

 

Inaccuracies with Team’s tech card or using different items than what is listed may result in penalties determined by NHRA in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

Team will comply with the then-current NHRA Rulebook at all times during Team’s participation in any event. Team is bound by all the information reported on this tech card.

 

Prior to any event, all members of Team must sign or have on file a current Release & Waiver of Liability Agreement(s) mandated by NHRA. No participation in any event and no restricted area access is permitted for Team members without signing such Agreement.

 

Team and each and every member of it understands and agrees that drag racing is a dangerous sport that can result in serious injury or death, that Team’s participation is voluntary, and that Team and each member of it assumes the risk of any and all forms of personal injury and property damage arising from the event.

 

No promises or representations have been made to me and/or Team different from or contrary to the terms set forth herein or in the tech card.

 

MY SIGNATURE CERTIFIES AND AFFIRMS THAT EVERYTHING STATED IN THIS TECH CARD IS TRUE AND CORRECT INCLUDING ALL OF THE INFORMATION ENTERED AFTER THIS SIGNATURE PAGE, AND THAT I AM THE PERSON AUTHORIZED BY THIS TEAM TO COMPLETE THIS TECH CARD AND BIND THE TEAM (INCLUDING THE DRIVER, CREW AND OWNERSHIP) TO EVERYTHING AGREED TO AND STATED IN THIS TECH CARD.

By checking here, I consent to the use of my electronic signature in lieu of an original signature on paper. I have the right to request that I sign a paper copy instead. By checking here, I am waiving that right. After consent, I may, upon written request to the NHRA Technical Department, obtain a paper copy of an electronic record. No fee will be charged for such copy and no special hardware or software is required to view it. My agreement to use an electronic signature with NHRA for any documents will continue until such time as I notify the NHRA Technical Department in writing that I no longer wish to use an electronic signature. There is no penalty for withdrawing my consent. I will always make sure that the NHRA Technical Department has my current email address in order to contact me regarding any changes, if necessary. However, I am obligated to monitor nhra.com and nhraracer.com for any changes.
