Qualifier Events

Every event approved to qualify riders for the 2026 TRFAM Semi-Finals. The circuit runs across six countries and five continents — track what's still open, see where the road has already been, and find your slide to Vegas.

How the road works

Three slides to a million

Qualifying for the ancillary divisions — Rookie 1, Rookie 2, Youth, and Non Pro — runs in three stages, from local qualifiers to the finals in Las Vegas.

01

Qualify

Run at an approved qualifier nationwide, alongside the matching NRHA class. The top five per slate in each division — plus ties, scoring above zero — advance to the Semi-Finals.

2025 – May 31, 2026
02

Semi-Finals

At the 2026 NRHA Derby in Oklahoma City, run with the matching ancillary classes: Youth with Unrestricted Youth, Rookie 1 with Rookie Level 1, Rookie 2 with Rookie Level 2, and Non Pro with the Non Pro Derby.

Entry requirementEvery ancillary run is concurrent with its NRHA class — exhibitors must also be entered in the corresponding NRHA class.
EligibilityEligibility for the qualifying events is judged at the time of each event, but eligibility to compete at the 2026 Semi-Finals is set by your status as of Jan 1, 2026. Watch your earnings — qualifying a division in 2025 doesn't guarantee you're still eligible for it in 2026.
Last Chance QualifierThe first slate of Non Pro, Rookie 1, Rookie 2, and Youth at the 2026 NRHA Derby serves as a Last Chance Qualifier — the only exception to the May 31 close.
Non Pro designationNon Pro riders declare either the Non Pro Derby preliminary round or Non Pro [2] (Sun, June 21) as their Semi-Final before the prelim begins; the top 30 (plus ties) across both rounds advance.
