Re: Contingency Sponsers for Lucas Oil Series
 

IMHO, contingency dollars are like mail-in rebates for consumer products. The company is very much hoping they'll never have to pay, but they'll get the benefit (your purchase and/or advertising with the sticker) anyway. Most don't have qualms about making you jump through hoops and delaying payment, making it so painful that you'll just bag it. That you'll just run their stickers for years and never win, or never jump through the hoops. Free advertising with their core constituency, and even props in the digger and elsewhere for offering it.

I hear all these war stories about collecting money and I guess I am blessed. I have been paid every dollar (almost) that was owed to me through NHRA contingency programs. Now I know I do not win as much as you guys but I get lucky once and a while. Yes, I have waited for it but to me that does not matter, as long as I know I am getting it I am thankful. I think it is kind of cool when checks just shows up out of know where in the mail box.
I guess my thought is instead of posting on this thread, send an e-mail to a sponsor and tell them how much you appreciate their support.
Even if every one of us sends one to a differant company I think that would help in the long run.

Us too. The only stickers on our car are the ones required to run: NHRA, Lucas, and our local association sticker.

Guys, I just checked the list on NHRA.com and it looked to me like it was slowly growing...I saw Comp Cams and CSR on there(may be others but I only looked for stuff that I have), and I don't remember them being there when I last looked maybe 2 weeks ago

Re: Contingency Sponsers for Lucas Oil Series
 

CSR may be on there but they don't pay anyway.
I do not see how they get listed each year when they don't pay the racer anyway.
Still waiting on my payment from CSR for a starter and water pump!
