Damn.....if that's a full list I would only claim 17 of the products! Only 1700 contingency to win and 850 for r/u!!!! PATHETIC!!!!

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

I come up with 8.Don't know what some are contingent on though.

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

2011 list is down from the 2010 list 29 contingency products, over $40,000 less posted per event, and over $1.8 million less posted for the entire year.:eek:

Notable longtime particpants missing are ATI, Comp Cams, & Edelbrock.:mad:

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

OUCH.. where'd everybody go? Cops broke up the party. Ford went home, MT went home, aeromotive, comp cams, altronics, edelbrock all peaced out too? Can any new sponsors choose to be added over the course of the year or is this final?

Now in all seriousness, can we plead with NHRA to raise the payouts to make up for the loss of sponsors? 4 rounds and not even getting your entry fee back is just brutal.

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

I don't know the process but I am going to assume the companies not only pay contingencies to the racers but have to pay NHRA to be a sponsor.

Maybe 'the cost of doing business' with NHRA no longer falls within their budget.

I'm thinking this is just a list of companies that have signed the contract, and many more longtime sponsors are still pending...

I sure hope!!!!

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

Maybe the sponsors got "enhanced" also?

Re: 2011 LODRS Contingency
 

I think Mopar is posting the same as last year. I will find out officially.
