Keys to the success have been NHRA’s focus on racer participation at all levels and providing venues to race with rules designed to provide fair competition and to enhance safety. One way that NHRA consistently achieves these important objectives is through the development of a Rulebook designed to provide guidance for NHRA activities, participants, and member tracks. NHRA’s wide variety of racing series accommodates racing at all levels of interest, a wide range of vehicles, and from age 5 on up. The Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle classes share top billing in the sport’s NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series. The Mello Yello Series is a full season’s tournament of major national events produced in prime market locations from coast to coast. In addition, racing is conducted at the national, regional, and divisional level in the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series, a schedule that includes a myriad of classes ranging from Top Alcohol Dragster to Super Street. Supercharged or turbocharged, methanol-burning or nitrous- oxide-injected, gasoline-burning full-bodied cars compete in the 10-race E3 NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by J&A Service schedule showcased at 10 national events. E.T. racing is based on the bracketing of elapsed-time performances in producing categories for handicap-start competition. Because of its open-ended rules, E.T. racing encourages participation by a wide variety of vehicle types, from street rods to muscle cars to the latest offerings from domestic and foreign automakers. The NHRA Summit Racing Series is the entry level for most first-time racers, and its grassroots nature offers an affordable welcome to newcomers and old-timers in the sport. More than 6,000 events are conducted annually at approximately 120 NHRA member tracks throughout the United States and Canada. About 80 percent of total entries at these events are E.T. racers. Also, NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA lets almost anyone take almost any street vehicle out to a local track for a thrilling taste of the strip. In 2014, NHRA introduced the NHRA Jr. Street program for 13- to 16-year-olds. At participating NHRA member tracks, teenagers who have completed the licensing requirements can compete against one another in their approved vehicles. The Summit Racing NHRA Jr. Drag Racing League for NHRA’s youngest drivers is based on half-scale dragsters and a single- cylinder engine. The class is open to youth 5 to 17 and is conducted at most NHRA member tracks. NHRA invites you to join the fun of organized drag racing at your nearest NHRA dragstrip as a member of NHRA, the world’s largest auto racing organization.

    Melanie Troxel August 31, 1972 – Present Nationality: American Raced: 1997 – Present

    Melanie Troxel August 31, 1972 – Present Nationality: American Raced: 1997 – Present Background: Melanie Troxel was born in Littleton, Colorado in 1972. She became involved in motor sports at an early age, spending her childhood at the race tracks with her dad, Mike Troxel, a veteran dragster and 1988 Top Alcohol Dragster World Champion. Melanie began her own drag racing career while she was in high school. Her first race came at age sixteen, when she drove a car with an engine she built herself for a school project. She received her first drag racing license in Super Comp, but it was just a starting point for the young driver. Troxel attended Frank Hawley’s Drag Racing School in Florida, and in 1997 she earned licenses in Funny Cars and in Dragsters, becoming the first woman licensed to drive in both classes. After competing in Federal-Mogul Dragsters for a few years, she made the switch to Top Fuel in 2000, driving for Don Schumacher Racing. In December 2003, she married Funny Car racer Tommy Johnson, Jr. Lack of sponsorship forced her out competition in the latter half of the 2003 season and in 2004, but in 2005 she was back racing. Her first full season in Top Fuel came in 2006 and it was a breakthrough year for Troxel. She earned two victories and won a number of awards for her performances throughout the season. Following two more wins in 2007, she joined the R2B2 Racing Team and began competing in the NHRA Funny Car competition the following year. With her victory at Bristol, Tennessee in May 2008, she became just the fourteenth racer to score wins in both the NHRA Top Fuel and Funny Car classes.

    Methanol Methanol, Also Known As Methyl Alcohol, Wood Alcohol, Wood Naphtha Or Wood Spirits, Is a Chemical with Formula CH3OH (O

    Methanol Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical with formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). It is the simplest alcohol, and is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable, and liquid with a distinctive odor that is very similar to but slightly sweeter than ethanol (drinking alcohol). At room temperature it is a polar liquid and is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethanol. It is also used for producing biodiesel via transesterification reaction. Methanol is produced naturally in the anaerobic metabolism of many varieties of bacteria, and is ubiquitous in the environment. As a result, there is a small fraction of methanol vapor in the atmosphere. Over the course of several days, atmospheric methanol is oxidized with the help of sunlight to carbon dioxide and water. Methanol burns in air forming carbon dioxide and water 2 CH3OH + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 4 H2O A methanol flame is almost colorless in bright sunlight. Because of its toxic properties, methanol is frequently used as a denaturant additive for ethanol manufactured for industrial uses — this addition of methanol exempts industrial ethanol from liquor excise taxation. Methanol is often called wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood. Applications Methanol is a common laboratory solvent. It is especially useful for HPLC, UV/VIS spectroscopy, and LCMS due to its low UV cutoff. Feedstock The largest use of methanol by far is in making other chemicals. About 40% of methanol is converted to formaldehyde, and from there into products as diverse as plastics, plywood, paints, explosives, and permanent press textiles.

    FIA Technical Regulations for Drag Racing

    FIA DRAG RACING SECTION 1 - JUNIOR DRAGSTER & JUNIOR FUNNY CAR 2021 Specific Regulations for FIA Drag Racing These Technical Regulations provide guidelines and minimum standards for the construction and operation of vehicles used in FIA Drag Racing. It is the responsibility of the participant to be familiar with the contents of these Technical Regulations and to comply with its requirements. It is not the responsibility of the officials to discover all potential rule compliance issues. The responsibility for compliance with these Technical Regulations rests first and foremost with the competitor. Additional safety equipment or safety-enhancing equipment is always permitted and the levels of safety equipment stated in these Technical Regulations are minimum prescribed levels for a particular type of competition and do not prohibit the individual competitor from using additional safety equipment. Competitors are encouraged to investigate the availability of additional safety devices or equipment for their type of competition. In disputed cases, whether an item, device or piece of equipment is safety-enhancing or performance-enhancing will be determined by the FIA Technical Delegate or the FIA Technical Department. Furthermore, as to performance-enhancing equipment, it is the general principle that unless optional performance-enhancing equipment or performance- related modifications are specifically permitted by these Technical Regulations, they are prohibited. Throughout these Technical Regulations, a number of references are made for particular products and equipment to meet certain standards and specifications (i.e. FIA-Standard, SFI Specs, Snell, DOT, etc.). It is important to realize that these products are manufactured to meet certainspecifications, and upon completion, the manufacturer labels the product as meeting that standard or specification.
