Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

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???

This thread is from 2011.

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

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 :)

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

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.

K and N is a good contingency sponsor.Got $200.gift certificate from them for getting to the semi finals at St . Louis.

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

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

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

I am happy to see no Ford issues in this thread.

We have made great strides to improve our payouts to no more than 30 days once we receive the information from NHRA.

I do know that on rare occasions a payout may slip through the cracks on our end or on NHRA's.

If you do receive a payment within 60 days of your win please email an inquiry to fcntgcy@ford.com with the date, class and event you earned contingency at.

Feel free to cc me on those communications as well, jkershaw@ford.com

As we roll out more contingency programs it is critical we stay on top of payments and we appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

Note that this was for a semifinal finish, which is awarded above and beyond their monetary postings for win/ru. Having a race car (or two), a tow vehicle, and a street car, there are enormous opportunities to use K&N oil filters, air filters, and air intake assemblies. They do a tremendous amount for sportsman racing, and I for one am very appreciative.

It's the appreciation and patronage of companies that support drag racing that makes them economically viable means of marketing.

On different note, I think it says a great deal for Ford to represent themselves here in public, too. I had the pleasure of meeting Jesse at Indy last year. Young, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about the sport. They have a great liason that readily sets them apart.

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

I won the points meet in Brainerd last year and had no issues with any of the companies. There was a couple that emailed me and it went to Junk Mail, which I didn't receive their request for W9. I sent them an email and received payment. I was really impressed. I don't have the list in front of me but by memory I recall, FAST, Comp Cams, ATI, Impact, K&N, Jegs, Summit, AFCO, PAC, Moroso, VP, Autometer, Harland Sharp, Hoosier, Strange, Aeromotive, ARP

Re: Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors
 

K& N will not pay if you actually don't have the air cleaner on in eliminations. At least they would not not pay in my case, so I took their decals off. I tried to explain its really rare for a Superstocker to actually run air cleaners, and I have them on the motorhome, but no dice.....Just to make you all aware
