We have done about 75% of the hard work....gathered a team, demolished a car and with lots of help (thanks John from Hoonactics) we are preparing it for MSR Houston....our team all have safety gear but two of us have Full UK drivers licenses but not a Texas one yet......is that going to be okay on the day???
Thanks

Send an email to Nick or Jay to verify.
2.2: Driver Eligibility: All drivers must have a valid US or International driver's license and a valid competition license or Lemons Competition Membership card. Lemons Competition Membership cards are good for one year from the race for which they were purchased and are made available to all drivers after their team is accepted. No other competition licenses are recognized or reciprocated.
Thanks Troy, I'll follow up with the guys you suggested.

Markdas, when I travel to the UK, I get a temporary international driver's license...not expensive, but you may need a passport photo. Check with the Men in Black but I think this would work well in the US. FWIW, My Canadian Ontario provincial license was accepted, but I think there's an agreement of sorts between Canada and the US, i.e. my insurance covers US driving...maybe the UK has something similar?
Okay thanks. I think we will be okay with these UK/Euro licences. We have had car insurance etc over here for a year using the UK licence and its accepted by the authorities elsewhere....but don't want to risk any chance of not joining in the fun!!!

An international drivers license is easy to get. Specifics vary on the Country of origin, but in NZ I didn't need a passport photo. They verified the details against my NZ license and issued it. In the US they preferred my NZ license over an International when I was hiring vehicles etc.
Yeah, a valid UK license is fine, although you are required to drive a right-hand drive car, preferably a Wolseley. OK, only the first part is true
Jay confirms
YEAH BABY!!!!
Okay......off to find a Wolsey at the local scrapper!!!
Thanks guys for your help!!!
Hmm... and here we were, driving all over Scotland, ready to show our Lemons licenses... but never got the chance. Guess we'll have to go back...those lefthand roundabouts are "interesting"!!
those are the correct roundabouts! Actually, when I visit the UK I always have to double check which was round Im supposed to drive!!! And stop myself turning right on a red light! You guys have contributed stuff to western civilisation!
