Welcome | Division 1

Dear Racers of Maryland International Raceway,

We know change isn’t always easy, especially when it involves the place and people you’ve raced with for years. As MIR transitions from WDRA to NHRA, please know this move comes with one purpose — to better support you, the racer, with the resources, consistency, and long-term stability our sport depends on.

For decades, NHRA has stood behind racers at every level — from local bracket programs to national events. Our focus remains the same: protect the racer, preserve the sport, and make sure every pass down the track has purpose. You’ll keep racing at the same great facility you know, now with added access to NHRA’s benefits, points structure, and safety programs that keep drag racing thriving for the future.

To make this transition easier, we’re extending exclusive savings for MIR racers joining the NHRA family for the first time:

SAVE $36
on a 2-Year NHRA Level 2–7 Competition License and Membership

SAVE $30
on a 3-Year NHRA Sportsman Chassis Certification

👉 Start your licensing process here: https://www.nhraracer.com/content/general.asp?articleid=46983&zoneid=175

With respect and enthusiasm,
Mark Dawson
NHRA Northeast Division Director
