I wonder what is going to happen with competition licenses? i.e. will WDRA have different classes (ET license A,B,C,D,E), will they require paying for a new license,
And the big if

If I let my IHRA class license expire, and 3 years later WDRA falls apart, will I have to retake the track tests to get my IHRA license back?
I just did my track tests (timeslips, signatures) for my upgrade to Class C (5.50 1/8 mile, 8.00 1/4 mile) and got a new IHRA card.

OK, it sounds like WDRA will just let all NHRA/IHRA competition licenses be used, at least the first year (2023). So racers can just keep paying NHRA/IHRA to keep their license current, even if they only race at WDRA events.
