TINA STULL: Hi. I'm Tina Stull, and I drive the Top Dragster for Interstate Batteries. On behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to talk about the basics of racing. So, you're at the track, the most valuable resource that you should always take with you is one of your--either the National Dragster or the IHRA's version. These are magazines that we knew, licensed with--and get you're license number. You order that to become a member and you get some subscriptions for it. It will have all of your schedules for both national and divisional and a lot of important resources. If rules change during the year, this is where you're going to find out. You can also go to the NHRA.com or IHRA.com and they keep that updated so you can get there. But now you're at the track, you probably don't have internet access and you need to find out like the radio frequency so that you can hear them when they call you. Also, maybe you need a parts shipped to the track. Well, this is the time that you would go back to your Fan Guide that comes once a year, the beginning of the year. And as you go through it, each track will have their address, the radio frequency for that year, also information on shipping, telephone, their telephone numbers. Also, it's good to find out ahead of time if you're staying at the track, do they have showers? Do they have other facilities? A lot of them do.
