Tell them the facts and they should be the ones to help you out. You are a member of NHRA and the NHRA is who posts the contingency awards. I am still at a loss why you can't register before the season OR why NHRA does not pay you when they do the post-race inspections of decals and products.

We pay Racer Rewards with my company. Same as NHRA Contingency but without the "administrative fee" or having to pay NHRA a minimum if not enough racers collect the contingency dollars. I think you will see more companies paying contingency awards (on the side) with registration through their websites orat the events.

For small companies it is the only practical way to do it. NHRA simply wants way too much "minimum $$ ($4500.00) to be a Lucas Oil Drag Race Series in this economy and to top that off, they reduce the number of LODRS events we could display at.

Something is just wrong with that picture to me,

Yeh, you're right, I do not like their contingency policies at this time with this economy. It should be a time for NHRA to work with new companies not just let the contingency company list continue to shrink. But what the heck, it's their playground.

We will continue to do an "in-house" contingency program for NHRA and IHRA racers in 2010 at Trailer Toad LLC.

I think the manufacture should do it on the side also.. We had a runner-up at a Div 7 race
and the first payment I received was from Scott Mclay and he actually called in person to congratulate us and the check was in the mail. A Big thank you to Mr Mclay!! the other next two checks were from PTC and Turbo Action all of these companies were not on the sheet but payed with there sticker and product very quickly... Now these companies I will gladly do future business with. Jiffytite is another company that deserves props those people are on the ball !! E-mailed them, Returned my message that same day and continued to work with me for a few days to work out some details what great customer service and dedication to the Racers Thank You.. Now the other 10 companies threw NHRA took from 8 to 12 weeks to pay Except CSR they s--k!! Sticker is coming off they never payed and wont return e-mail or calls... Meziere starter is allready ordered CSR is on the shelf.
