FORD Performance 2021??

Dave Turner · 02-26-2021, 10:27 AM

Anyone with insight into the absence of LODRS contingency support from the Ford camp?...if they’re “out” for 2021, I missed the memo.

They were out for 2020 for sure.
Don’t see them on the list either.

Dave I just updated my contingency on Event reg and Ford is under vehicle on both Mello Yello and Lucas Oil, not sure if Ford Peformance was a separate one in the past. I was racing a Pontiac that gave nothing lol

Ford / Ford Performance did not pay contingency in 2020 nor will they in 2021. They were on the list for 2020 but Then the pandemic started and NHRA let them opt out of the deal. Then NHRA failed to remove / updated them and others from the list. I went through this after my win in Earlville last year. Very disappointing to check off a contingency box in the winner circle for a $1000 only to be told months later sorry. Moral of the story that contingency list NHRA posts means nothing.

That's crazy because I got my contingency packet about the middle of last year and no mention of them no longer supporting it.

I am friends with a few of the NMRA coyote stockers and they mentioned this about ford a few weeks ago.....

This was on the Ford Performance website last year, nothing on there for 2021.

Ford doesn’t care about Drag Racing nor does Chevy!
