MEMBERS ASK ABOUT

Associate membership

Q: Can two names or my company name be on one membership?

A: No. The benefits of membership are only for individuals.

Q: What if someone in my household also wants to join but we want only one National DRAGSTER?

A: If more than one immediate family member in the same household wishes to join NHRA but you prefer only one National DRAGSTER subscription, consider associate membership for the additional person(s). For $30 per year, associate members enjoy all of the benefits of membership but do not receive ND. Associate members must live with an immediate family member who is a current full member of NHRA. The associate member's term may not exceed that of the full member.

Q: Do associate members get their own renewal notices?

A: Yes. The associate's term of membership always expires with the term of the full member, so please remember to coordinate your renewals accordingly.
