Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Don those checks will not show up for awhile. But I will say Comp Cam and the VP checks will show up months before the others. Heck im still waiting for my ford racing check from class in Gainesville.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I'm still waiting on my Ford racing check from class in Gainesville from 2003. You think I should right it off?? LOL

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Unfortunately with Moody downgrading Ford’s bond rating to “junk” (not the end of the world but look at their stock since Alan Mullally left) I’m not sure abandoning the car market except for Mustang was the right step. I’m not on the “recession coming” bandwagon regardless of who wins in 2020 but do think that our current crop of Demons, GT500, etc. is going to tip over at some point and GM and Ford will scale back....just IMHO.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

If you get a check before the new year I'd be shocked.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

That was one big plus with IHRA - they stayed on those who posted contingency and you got paid.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Mike, They stayed on almost everyone. the old CSI got me for 3 and Jet hot got me for 1... Back in the 2,000's... Yes IHRA was way better than NHRA in that respect, Esp when Karen was doing the job.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Last IHRA race I won, the check bounced, never made it good. Almost no contingency sponsors. About half of that few never paid up. Gave up on IHRA after that.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

That is because Bill Bader still owned IHRA. When it was sold several times after he let it go IHRA turned to s**t !

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

NHRA payments are net 45.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Don't hold your breath. I won class at the Gators 2 years ago. only 1 out of 4 paid their contingency. It took 8 months to get that check. It was Strange Engineering. Thank you Strange. None of the others paid.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Why did he quit?

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I hate to throw a monkey wrench into the bashing party but I get paid for every manufacturer that posts for class, some later than others but they all pay. They do need W-9s and such. If you follow their requests they seem to pay between 30 and 90 days.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Ask him !

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Everyone pay me from Gainesville this year and Comp cams was first Thanks to all

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I still have not gotten any checks for my class win at Indy ? has anyone else gotten a check for Indy to let me know

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I did Don . I believe two of them. I know Comp Cams paid as the check is still laying here. I can't remember who the other one was.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I always pay my racers immediately. Don't understand why the big outfits can't do the same.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Does anyone have the list of companies who paid contingencyfor class win at Indy for Super Stock. Let me know donkennedy1@cox.net Thanks

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Hi Don,
I did a screenshot of an email NHRA sent me about 2 weeks after INDY. It has all the class contingencies on it.
I only had 3.
I also received emails from Sunoco and Moser shortly there after requesting a W-9 from me. They had attached the form for me to fill out and sign. I did that and scanned in a pdf and emailed it back.
I have received all contingency monies from US Nationals.
I will say that Billy Carroll from Comps is always the first to pay. I got my FAST check first.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Don,
Got all three checks from Indy, Moser, VP and Comp Cams. I would reach out to the vendors if you haven't been paid yet.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I have a perfect record with Ford on conting money, never been paid even once.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

The only NHRA National event that I ever entered that had Stock Class Eliminations was Sonoma 2010. The NHRA guy that checked out my stickers said my Ford sticker was not the correct one, and at the time, I was unaware that I was supposed to be on file with Ford Racing, which I was not. He filled out the contingency paper anyhow, and not only did Ford send me a check, they also sent me the proper stickers, as well as a registration form to get me on the list for future reference. Technically, I suppose they really did not have to send me the check, so I was quite impressed that they did.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Don I got paid by mopar around first of October I believe. $100 each btw. I think I had 2 more that haven’t sent anything as of yet.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

But wasn't just a few months ago that half the people on this board argued in favor of "stickering-up" their cars, so they would be in a position to collect all of the contingency money they had coming to them? Mr. Bluster even said that he had a pile of checks sitting on his desk, waiting to be cashed. Sounds like very few contingency "sponsors" actually ever pay anything. I'll bet they dig the fact that they get your money AND you advertise for them, for free.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Years?

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

All true, but "Mr Bluster" actually posted a picture at that time, identifying himself.

Come on out in the sunlight. Your comments will have more credibility ;-)

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

If you're implying that I'm hiding behind a screen name... I'm not. My name is Mike Lyons.

Second, forgive me for being blunt, but I don't judge my credibility by what you (or almost anyone else) think(s) of anything I say or do. Urging me to "come on out in the sunlight" is pretty condescending.

Third, it appears to me that Mr. Bluster may not be who you think he is.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Okay.. I remember that now. But I can't keep track of every nom de plume here, and I'm here a lot..Some folks , not so much.
We've had discussions in the past here , ( no deep staging, etc) that turned into NHRA edicts. I'm sure some of the posters on those threads were anonymous also.
Who knows how much weight they carry, but I would hate to see people who are not directly affected by such policies , influencing them. I'm sure other racers feel the same way.
You can call that being "condescending" but I call it reality.
If I'm wrong about that , I won't get any "likes" here >

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Jesus, you're not arrogant at all, are you?

I can say without fear of being contradicted that, with the exception of working directly with Mike Pustelny to get Cavaliers and Sunfires legal for Super Stock competition (a few years ago), I have never attempted to influence NHRA in any way. Unlike the numerous crybabies who frequent this site, who always bring a pseudo-learned perspective on what should and shouldn't be, I leave NHRA to the business of running it's own sanctioning body. I don't incessantly bitch about the rules; I just pay my money and race my car.

Your condescension is evident in your apparent belief that you somehow have credentials and sanction to chide someone you have absolutely no information about, because they used a screen name in making a post. That you're the official Subject Matter Expert on Classracer.com.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Wow...I have my popcorn popping in the microwave.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

MIKE LYONS, This is not about you, MIKE LYONS
I thought I made that clear in the first sentence, last response.

Here is the post that I was talking about. Ed Bigley and his son ,Kyle , in a winner's circle photo.

Have a nice day, MIKE LYONS

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

The first sentence of your last response says absolutely nothing about not being about me (MIKE LYONS).

I've read many of your posts, and it is obvious from them that you see yourself as some sort of drag racing icon. Looks like you've owned a lot of cars, and been racing since the beginning of time. Good for you...

You seem to believe that this somehow qualifies you to instruct others on how to live their lives (e.g. "You should come out into the sunlight, blah, blah, blah"). It does not.

I am genuinely sorry for even responding to your criticism of my use of a screen name, not because your life coaching attempt actually accomplished anything, but rather because we just wasted each other's time. To put it simply the post would have had no greater or lesser significance or legitimacy if I had posted as MIKE LYONS.

So, since the only thing continuing this will do is waste more time, I declare you the winner of the Weekly Classracer.com Completely Pointless Argument Award. Add it to your assumedly already substantial list of achievements, as you share your wisdom and judge others.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Let me break this down for you.........


"you see yourself as some sort of drag racing icon"



Well actually, several # 1 qualify shots, #1 @ Indy, yah Mark probably shouldn't be conversing with you on a forum. Theres a lot of talent, and one of those talents isn't getting out his CK book and bubble packin it.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Hey Mark! Mark! Mark!

Here's another guy who needs to come out into the sunlight and use his real name! Get on him!

You guys kill me. You all take yourselves so seriously.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Maybe it's just an example of Mark's character and his charitable nature that he will actually converse with me on a forum.

BTW, what does "getting out his CK book and bubble packin it" even mean?

Finally, I absolutely LOVE "Let me break this down for you..........."

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

"Let me break this down for you..........." , one last time.
I said I remembered who you were .You had identified yourself in the past.
Hence , my comment wasn't directed at you, MIKE LYONS.

My OPINION is that I don't think it's a good idea that anonymous folks post here, making suggestions about how NHRA should run their policies. We've been told that at least some of them over there follow this drivel here.
Several seemed to agree with me. Apparently , many do not. But that's okay with me , too. Most of them have a lot more invested than I do, and you'll reap what you sow.
Again , an opinion piece.
No need for name calling

Carry on...

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

I hate to change the subject but... Did you get paid yet Donny?

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Not that my agreement matters, but I agree with everything you say above. Peace, brother.

Re: has any class winners at indy got check yet
 

Likewise :-)
Finish up the popcorn , guys .. Nothing more to see here LOL
