"Hi, I'm Tina Stull and I drive the Top Dragster for Interstate Batteries. On behalf of Expert Village I'm here to help you walk through the process of filling out the forms so that you can compete in the NHRA. So you get to this page and it's going to ask you to select a category. I run Super Comp which is basically a rail dragster that's similar to this. This is just a toy, but you know, the long skinny one and Super Comp is the category that I run. It means you are going to run that race in 8.9 seconds and it's really about consistency not so much speed. It's pretty much unlimited as far as electronics and what type of motors you can have. Either alcohol, there are gasoline, but the important thing is that it's that body style and you're going to run 8.90. So we'll put Super Comp here and I select that category and as you can see here this is one race that I've already registered for. Here's where you click to withdraw and as we talked before if you don't withdraw and you are a no show they'll, not only will you lose the money, but they'll also unregister you from any other events and you'll have to go back and re-register "
