Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors

Darrin Christen · 03-05-2014, 01:18 PM

I see Mark Williams listed in two of these post. Are they paying contigency again? I was told by them last year that they were not paying contigency anymore.

In my humble opinion (IMHO) NHRA should police this - not us

I am sure every slow or no payment has a great explanation from the sponsor

How do companies post a new year without paying for the previous year? A well known funny car sponcer owes us for a race in 2012 and 5 races for 2013. As Dan mentioned a Fl. company is well behind in payments also. We always look to see who is paying for the comming year and buy those products send in the "W" forms and diplay their decals. That should work, you would think . But repeated emails and phone calls are still needed sometimes with zero results. But persistency will hopfully pay off. Maybe a listing of who refuses to pay would be more helpfull to the racer. We need these companies to help support us and should do everything to keep them involved. When they do what they promise tell everyone about.When they don't...............well what do you do.

Just some info .If the sponsor does not pay out full contingency money they signed up for they have to pay NHRA the balance at the end of the year.

JW continues on this list, but at least they pay. I'll put CASTROL at the top of my list! Still waiting for payment from winning Cecil County in August of 2012!!! And they keep telling me payment is on the way! WTF???

STRANGE ENGINEERING is one of if not THE BEST paying when Tony won the largest EVER Perfectly Strange award in Joliet in 2010 on Saturday we had the check on Monday

Bobby Fazio · 03-06-2014, 09:24 AM

Darn I thought Castrol would be one of the best, I was about to go buy the required 12 quarts since they pay 300/100 at divisionals. I was getting a bunch of letters in the mail about MSD going bankrupt but looks like they are posting for this year? And who is the Florida company? PM it to me if you don't want to put it out there.

How are the tire companies? Autometer? K&N oil and air?

Lastly, is dragracecontingency.com an up to date site? Some companies on there that you won't find in the dragster.

I wouldn't put a sticker on my car for a gift certificate. How many K&N filters can you use?
