Article includes contingency info

You guys are completely missing the point. The purpose of this post was to get comments/thoughts on how the contingency sponsors and payout have decreased to virtually nothing. I remember people talking about winning as much as $18-16K as little as 10 years ago. And yet, NHRA can't seem to attract or keep contingency sponsors and appears to not really care.

There are plenty of different ones but they pay only 100-200 bucks only Chevy pays 1000

And....why does NHRA need to attract and/or keep contingency sponsors? Most of us will continue to race. Look at the races, with the exception of Comp, there are plenty of racers. There are even more that only bracket race. We have to buy safety products no matter what. Maybe we, as racers, should be finding a way to attract and keep contingency sponsors. Like not waiting until the later rounds and do the decal slap because you're getting closer to winning and thinking that that SSS might be handy.......
