Question about Super Comp

[Shan]

Seems like a large percentage of drivers start out their racing career in Super Comp. Why is that? Is it just a good class for beginners overall?

I also have another unrelated question. It's kind of silly, but I've always been curious about it. Do you have to have a regular driver's license to be able to get an NHRA license?

Did back in the old days 60-70's... not sure any more... what with Jr Dragsters and stuff

I think you just need to be at least 16 years old and an NHRA member to test for a license. There is a place to enter your DL# on the application, but the rules don't specify a requirement.
