Warning on contingency wraps

[HR9121]

I just saw on the nosey network (Facebook) that Jeff Longhany was denied contingency claims after his Orlando win because his stickers on his wrap were not legal size. C'mon man!

[KennyAnderson]

I told him to look at this as a blessing..... he just saved a TON of time trying to collect from those deadbeat contingency sponsors! NHRA doesn't seem to care much bout. Sorry your xxxx is over three weeks old.

Jeff won a few last year and no one said boo about the stickers then..... C'mon MAN!

[Larry Hill]

That really creates a vacuum. There I said it nicely.

Almost forgot CS

No decals for the win

This sometimes borders on ridiculous.. I had a Tech guy at an out of Divisional National Event threaten to fail me, cause I had trimmed my Lucas Oil/NHRA decals to fit on a panel (JUST THE WHITE BORDER).. had to get new ones and put them over them.. then he made me pop my chute, and repack it in front of him.. IMAGINE THAT!!!

[freddie tyson]

it has become more and more apparent that the GREAT NHRA could care less about the SPORTSMAN RACER, worst pits at National Events, lucky to get 2 time runs ,increased entry fees, dropping purses if you win a National Event etc, and now the BS about wraps for contingency payouts, when half the time you dont get paid anyway unless you furnish a receipt of purchase within a 2 year period, tearing off manufacture sticker off face shields on new helmets SAYING IT IS A BLINDER!!!Stupidity at the highest and some dimwit some called Tech man did at Orlando, but never once did they say lets check a few guys to see if they are legal. Just how much worse can this STUPIDITY get?

^^^^^^^^^^^^. After spending $25K to repair, straighten out and custom paint a 54yr old car body, no way am I putting on a decal that might return a $100.

Question - can I put the NHRA LODRS decal on my side windows?

And thats your choice. For me, the 700 in contingency I recieved to win class paid for my fuel and hotel. I know several people that have your same reply. To win a national event, It can be as much as 4500 dollars at 300 a decal.
Thats why we have a choice other than the mandatory decals. Many racers complain about not enough money to win a race, this program doubles or even quadruples the money you can receive.

Technically ,no

The side windows are supposed to be reserved for number ,class, and dial -in.
Station wagons can get away with that, being that they have an extra set of side windows.
I know that some have been pushing this issue but I suspect a crack down in coming.

I've always ran them on my side windows.
