Re: Contingency money?
Last IHRA race I ran, I won a points race. Check never did clear. I would had almost none of the right parts & decals. Got what contingency paid both, only a couple iirc. The check from the track I finally threw away. There was only 8 SS cars, so the track payout was much less than advertised. Seems like the advertised was based maybe on 32 cars? When I called the track about the check I was told IHRA required their fee when they arrived. Very low car counts made the track lose a good amount of money. I felt sorry for the guy, and just tore it up. Never saw ten SS cars at one of their races. Tried to support them by racing with them. The SS cars were mostly guys that ran NHRA around here too. Good cars. Seems like that track closed.
After that one, I gave up and never ran another IHRA race. Expensive enough when we get paid.
