Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to remove the old
painted contest id from under the wing?

I am planning on having a local sign store make me a template for my
contest ID - SA so I can spray a new ID on under the wing. *Anybody
have a suggestion on what type of paint would work best?

Thanks!

Removal- try acetone first. If that doesn't work, sand off with 600
wet.
Plain old Rustoleum works just fine for numbers- or get your sign
store to make numbers instead of template.

In the olden days, we needed contest numbers on the bottom of the wing
so the visual gate system would work. What is the reason for requiring
them now that we don't use a visual gate?

It helps at time to know who you are thermalling/cruising under and be
able call them etc.
