However, if you physically step foot in a state other than your "home" state, you must be registered with that state specifically in order to conduct business. Conducting business effectively means, money or sevices exchanges hands. Regardless if its for profit or not.

To test this theory, I looked up the NHRA on the WA business search. The NHRA is based out of Cali, but sure enough, they are also registered in WA, they just point their business license address to their California address for mailing purposes.

So, if the PDRA, or an agent of the PDRA (which currently appears to be basing itself out of New Jersey from what I can tell) tries to collect money, in person, in WA state, without a WA state business license, they are effectively commiting a felony in the state of WA.
and have a very nice day.
