Chip,

You look at the winners purse and then add about $12,000.00 dollars on top and you have a nice payday. Nice car or not I am putting them on. My friend has won several national events in NHRA and they look at your car for contingency decals late in the day. I remember putting them on the car as late as 10 minutes before the final. If you race alot like you do, you are foolish not to put them on or you can afford to run alot out of your own pocket. I was at Rockingham when you won a div championship and wondered what that day would have paid if it was me, and it was by no means big dollars, but my calculations told me that would have paid for alot the next season. Best part is that the stickers come off if you don't like them. To each persons liking I suppose. But I say Show Me the Money!

Steve

I know that was getting off the thread, but todays contingency deals are lacking. Slow pay or no pay by some ruin it for the other manufacturers that do pay and pay quick (30 days). Ask anyone that races alot and wins occasionally, they can tell you who the deadbeats are. I agree with Terry on non posting manufacturers-no pay no sticker.
