Over the last couple of years, the only contingency postings for class were from MT tires and Howell Printing.....$50 per if I remember.

Unfortunately, IHRA only had 2 contingency sponsors for Stock and SS class this past season. No money outside of that, but include a plaque. I'm still anxious to see what they have for contingency in 2011 so I can get the right stuff.

I didn't even get a plaque in 2008 & 2009. No big deal.

No, it is a big deal. There have always been plaques for Class winners. If you didn't get one, someone dropped the ball.

Like Myron, I'm ready to spend money... if I know where to spend it. We've been hearing teases of some kind of expanded program or some kind of new news since the middle of summer. When your season starts the end of January, it's kind of important to get ducks lined up quickly.

I don't know about you guys, but I remember getting $500 bucks in '99 for my class win then. However, this year I'd have been lucky to get $100 for it...it's got to be for fun, and the hardware, because it's not really worth the struggle to earn it otherwise for me especially.... :(

At San Antonio a few years ago I got a plaque and 50.00 from Mickey Thompson. There were other sponsors but I didn't run their products. Ed

Back in the late 80's I seem to remember getting around a $1000. Today probably would be lucky to get a couple hundred after spending a year trying prove I actually run their product.

Bragging rights is about it unless you run one of the new cars!!!
