ATI to self-administer NHRA contingency

[JohnRoderick]

Does anyone have a list of all the companies that self-administer NHRA contingency?

This will get interesting as the year goes on. Good for ATI . Might be only the beginning.

It should have been this way long ago and keep NHRA'S fingers OUT of it !

I wonder if the NHRA will try to come up with something to prohibit this circumventing of their contingency program. If it involves a loss of money, I'm sure they will sit up and take notice. If a company as big as ATI can do it, others may follow suit. This may get interesting.

Good for ATI. We have been doing this also, rather put the money in the racers hand

there's no "might" about it.....they'll be plenty making the flip in the near future and not only for NHRA, remember they are not the "ONLY" racing series out there that manufacturers' have customers in.....but here's where you the racer are now going to have a tad bit more responsibility -- you will need to get those winner circle or on track photos (at the event) to ATI or other companies that now require that as additional proof......"no pic -- no check". In addition to having the proper "current" paperwork on file with that company.....gonna be interesting to see how the organizations are going to respond.

I've been trying to find one for years. I try to support every company that supports the racers so I don't know why someone hasn't put together a website to help these companies spread the word. I did notice that DragRaceContingency.com has some payments that don't show up in National Dragster but don't know how updated it is. On another note I wish ATI would pay contingency for balancers and Super F fluid.

Turbo Action has been doing this for years. Not trying to detract from ATI's move (which I applaud), especially since they are one of Paul Forte's competitors but if we at least can get a sticky posted of all companies doing this it would assist the racers for sure. Suppose Ken will advise if doing such would violate any forum rules. Know Strange had a very public split with NHRA but don't recall if they are going to self-administer a program.


Starting to see why NHRA is more late than normal on getting their contingency postings out. Checked their website a few minutes ago and nothing for the Winternationals, even with us one week from tires in the water box.

I believe Strange Engineering is also doing the same.
