As mentioned above, this sucks even more that they gave no notice about this. I could have had my chassis recertified at any time, but was waiting until I was closer to having the car on the track (having paid for 2 certs over the last several years which expired before the car ever saw the outside of the trailer). I was planning to get mine recertified next week. I think I'm just going to bracket race my S/G car, and keep it in the 10's and below 135 mph (and skip the recertification). I've got my license renewal and NHRA membership renewal coming up, so it all adds up to a pretty big amount (especially given that I'm at 60% of my normal salary). I wish I still lived in North Carolina, where I wouldn't be hostage to NHRA...
