Contingency

[Tom Goldman]

Getting fresh decals from most manufacturers is almost impossible with few exceptions .
We all know that most decals that come with product are usually folded ,oil stained or damaged in some manor .
When I repainted my car last year I sent out about 25 requests for new decals to the manufacturers whose products I support because they support us.
Out of 25 ,I got 2 sets of decals along with a thanks for using our product .
Of the rest , I had 5 with no reply at all . Some of these sponsors are companies that I've collected contingency payments from in the past .
The remaining sponsors replied that NHRA had the decals available at the tech trailers .
Ok ,lets see what they had at the trailer . Division 1 has a nice roller cabinet with drawers filled with decals .
How many did i find there ? Two !! ...I got lucky with a few more from fellow racers but I'm still missing quite a few .
Now a year later I still need a few ,but I now have more room to put them since a few more companies have bailed out of the program.
