FORD Performance 2021??

Charley Downing · 02-26-2021, 05:56 PM

Ford / Ford Performance did not pay contingency in 2020 nor will they in 2021. They were on the list for 2020 but Then the pandemic started and NHRA let them opt out of the deal. Then NHRA failed to remove / updated them and others from the list. I went through this after my win in Earlville last year. Very disappointing to check off a contingency box in the winner circle for a $1000 only to be told months later sorry. Moral of the story that contingency list NHRA posts means nothing.

That's crazy because I got my contingency packet about the middle of last year and no mention of them no longer supporting it.

I am friends with a few of the NMRA coyote stockers and they mentioned this about ford a few weeks ago.....

This was on the Ford Performance website last year, nothing on there for 2021.

Ford doesn’t care about Drag Racing nor does Chevy!

Is it drag racing, or NHRA that Ford doesn't care about ?

I think the money goes to the electric scooter program. Ford has a different set of priorities today.

From the contingency website: "Due to the impact that COVID-19 has had on the auto industry, Ford Performance made the difficult decision to suspend involvement in all race contingency award programs for the balance of the 2020 racing season. This suspension is effective as of May 8, 2020. Racers who have questions or are eligible for contingency award payments prior to May 8th should contact the Ford Performance Information Center at 800-367-3788 (8:30 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.

Stinks as they were on the form I filled out for class at the Baby Gators last year but since it was not submitted until January of this year NHRA would not submit it.
