The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), drag racing’s preeminent sanctioning body, was founded by automotive icon Wally Parks. From his roots in land speed racing in California and the salt flats of Bonneville, Utah, Parks launched the NHRA while running the world’s largest car magazine. He understood automotive enthusiasts needed an association that organized and measured the best of their energies and skills. Thus, the NHRA was born. Today, the NHRA carries Parks’ vision into the 21st century and continues the innovative use of media to bring people together and celebrate their automotive accomplishments.
