3.11.3 *LICENSING PROCEDURES
New and/or expired (more than 2 years) racers will be required to make licensing passes during qualifying prior to being allowed to compete in eliminations or have completed an approved drag racing school. Competitors who wish to compete in a quicker class than they have previously will be required to prove their ability to safely operate the racing vehicle in the quicker category. Proof of ability will be performance of two single passes under the supervision of AMA officials. Proof of ability may also be provided by written endorsement from a motorcycle drag racing school approved by AMA, or an individual who has been previously designated in writing by AMA to serve as a racer examiner. In order to obtain a license in Class 3 or quicker, a racer is expected to hold a license in a slower class for at least one season. Exceptions will be handled on an individual basis, and will be based on demonstrated performance in competition under the auspices of other sanctioning bodies. All new riders are required to hold a Class 4 license prior to obtaining a Class 3 or higher license. License runs will be conducted only at AMA Dragbike approved drag racing schools or licensing sessions. The following minimum elapsed time has been determined to qualify for a license.
TF......................................6.99 FB & PM.....................................7.30
PS & PST...........................8.40 SST, RST, SS, TG, SC.................9.45
SF, SET, PET, SE...................11.00
Each license will be issued based on the style and class of bike, not elapsed time exclusively.
In the interest of safety, any rider with a physical limitation, whether temporary or permanent, that could jeopardize their own safety or the safety of other racers and/or fans must inform AMA Dragbike of that limitation. If required in the interest of safety, the rider may be required to demonstrate to AMA Dragbike officials the ability to safely operate the race vehicle in a controlled environment (single pass) before being allowed to compete.
If the Event Director observes erratic or unsafe rider behavior, that Director may require the rider in question to demonstrate the ability to safely operate the race vehicle by making a solo pass. The conditions of the solo pass will be determined by the Event Director, and satisfactory completion of the pass will be determined by the Event Director or his/her appointed official. If the rider’s performance during the solo pass is unstable, erratic, or otherwise unsafe, the rider may be disqualified from the event, and have rider’s competition license suspended. In such a case the rider will be required to attend training, such as a drag racing school, in order to have rider’s competition

I went to the AMA website and signed up as a member and got my class 4 competion license. The engine is stock no internal mods, but its lowered and stretched. Hopefully I can get thru tech inspection with out any problems.

I am going to run our 1441 Busa...I will gear it up to keep within the 9.5 index. I am using the race as a test and tune along with some heads up practice. My 5th. time to the strip looking forward to having some fun. 
Scott Valenti called today to walk me through licensing and so forth. Should be a good time.
