fastlane 8 staginglanes SINGLE EVENT LICENCE The Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) is pleased to announce the continuation of the event licence trial initially released in April 2018. Consideration of feedback to the ANDRA board from a number of clubs, venues and members has seen a review of the process and an update to paperwork and requirements. This update and continuation of the single event licence allows racers to compete at events at ANDRA member venues without having to hold a full ANDRA licence. The event licence can be used in place of an unlimited group 2 or 3 licence or a Group 1 licence. Event licences cost $50.00 and racers must be a full ANDRA member (single event licence and full membership can now be purchased together for $150.00) and hold a current ANDRA (or equivalent) medical clearance (other sanctioning body medicals will be accepted by ANDRA) to be eligible. Vehicles will continue to require an ANDRA technical inspection to be raced under an event licence, however ANDRA will not require the competitor to purchase or hold an ANDRA logbook ($79 savings). ANDRA reserves the right to disallow any vehicle not compliant with ANDRA regulations and policies. Single Event Licences may only be purchased twice in a calendar year. There will be no geographical restrictions. Applications must be made through the ANDRA office at least 72 hours prior to an event, to allow enough time to ensure all medicals and provisions on the licence are in order. There will be an additional time requirement as outlined on the form for applications with removable rollcages. Single Event Licence applications will NOT be accepted on the day of an event.
