Your thoughts on new WDRA for S/SS classes

I think it could work like the independent series such as Can Am here in Canada operate. Stock S/S presents themselves as a package with their own rules,tech, their own ladders and prize structure. Works well here.

I didn't know if WDRA was going to be a full sanctioning body or an approved alternate series like NMCA or PDRA. But with the number of major tracks like MIR and US131 signing up, it must be the real thing. What is going to happen to the newly-purchased IHRA now that they are losing so many tracks?

More Competition! And who wins when people are competing for business?

Does anyone know who is running this? I haven't seen anything about that in this post. I heard Empire and Beaver Springs are also on board. Bill Taylor B/S 1005.
