With 80,000 members and more than 35,000 licensed competitors, NHRA is a thriving leader in the world of motorsports. Parks initially started NHRA as a means of getting hot rodders off the streets and on to legal dragstrips. Since those early days, NHRA has evolved into the largest promoter of professional drag racing in the world. Today, with more than 300 dedicated employees, NHRA offers drag racing opportunities for hot rod enthusiasts of all levels, from kids ages 8-17 in the NHRA O'Reilly Auto Parts Jr. Drag Racing League all the way up to the top of the professional ranks with the organization's $50 million NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series.

NHRA is all about diversity. With more than 20 categories of competition, including Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle at the professional level, to a multicultural array of high-octane personalities it calls world champions, NHRA thrives on unique competitors accomplishing unique achievements. For example, in 2003, Hispanic racer Tony Pedregon won the NHRA POWERade Funny Car world championship. Meanwhile, African-American Pro Stock Motorcycle racer Reggie Showers -- a double amputee below the knees -- won his first NHRA national event. At the same time, pioneer female racer Shirley Muldowney, a three-time NHRA Top Fuel world champion, retired from the sport at age 61. Indeed, there is something for everyone at NHRA.
