US 13 Dragway
2024 WDRA Advanced Tech Inspections at US 13 Dragway
Delmar, DE -
US 13 Dragway will utilize the WDRA R.A.C.E. program offered to WDRA member tracks and WDRA racing members as an aid to streamlining and creating an efficiency for those regular customers who race in the points program with the same vehicle throughout the season.
The program requires an initial inspection that is more detailed than the normal weekly inspection. The R.A.C.E. is not a replacement to using the standard waiver and release system, however, it is a program designed to be a benefit not only to the tech process and to the regular weekly WDRA racing members.
The WDRA members who complete the R.A.C.E. program will get to bypass the tech line and simply present their certification paperwork to the track’s tech officials once their initial R.A.C.E. has been completed.
Racer Eligibility
• WDRA membership and license is mandatory to participate in the R.A.C.E. program.
• The racer has to present the R.A.C.E. inspection certification record to the tech official prior to competition.
• If multiple drivers utilize the same vehicle, each driver must complete a R.A.C.E. registration form and be issued a separate R.A.C.E. decal.
• R.A.C.E. Inspections expire on December 31 of each year, provided the records are adhered to and the vehicle and related drivers' accessories remain in as inspected form. All SFI expiration dates must be enforced.
• If the vehicle is updated or altered, a new inspection must be performed with appropriate documentation and a new inspection decal put on the vehicle prior to competition.
• The R.A.C.E. certification may become invalid at any time should the vehicle or competitor violate the WDRA Rulebook regulations or R.A.C.E. program requirements.
