All of the other (16) companies that I e-mailed replied or sent check in a timely manner. I have had six (6) sets of headers plated by "Jet-Hot" in the past five years for various cars and have displayed their decals on the racecar all of that time...I think I qualify for the contingency. If I don't get the contingency, I will remove the decals and voice my displeasure with the company and every racer I know to discourage use of their product.

Jet Hot buys big ads in the National Dragster. NitroPlate has a small ad in the back, they spend their time and money on an excellent product, great customer service, and PAYING your contingency payment!

Me neither Joe! But the problem I have with Nitroplate is they only pay for NHRA national events! What kind of payback is that for the racers that use their products.....especially those who only race IHRA! When they first came out with their product, they paid both divisionals and nationals!

You might try calling them, and talking to Chris.

One other thing. Racers should REALLY look CLOSELY at what it costs a company to pay contingency money THROUGH a sanctioning body. It costs these companies a TON to pay you what you get. Call up NHRA and IHRA next month, and ask what it will cost you to become a contingency sponsor. When you get the cost, figure out how much of that money is actually paid to the racers vs. what the sanctioning body takes in.

I know years ago Dvorak Machine (Dyno Dan) was paying contingency outside of NHRA to guys who won or were runner up at events. Dan would pay you direct rather than have NHRA keep most of the money. This seemed to work well as the racers got the money, not NHRA.

You will not find a more customer friendly company than Nitroplate! Racers should support racer oriented companies such as Nitroplate. These guys ARE the best! Jim
