That would actually be a good move since the only ones their competing against are themselves.

Guess it wasn't just a rumor.

They did NOT buy the WDRA

Partnership, acquisition, buy out, I don't think it really matters. In practice, they will essentially become the same governing body over the next little while. Whatever they choose to call it, idc. As long as they can bring sportsman racing back and bracket programs improve, I couldn't care less how it happens.

however it works just as long as nhra gets some competition. as long as they are the only game in town nothing will change.

ep-nothing may change anyway

Even if this new collaboration is still together after this season, it won’t ever be competition to the NHRA, especially if you live in an area where the IHRA doesn't have a track, a presence.

Isn't that the point of the collab? WDRA has tracks all over the place, they outnumber IHRA 2-1 at least. I reckon this will mean WDRA oversees the local bracket stuff while IHRA gets permission to host National events and pro-ams at WDRA sanctioned tracks.
