The current list was as of Nov.08....I'm sure there will be more but not as many as last year. I too would like to see more manufacturers pay direct to the racer than going thru NHRA. It would cost the sponcer less and make it able for them to direct the money where they want it to go. But let's face it the contingency program has been in decline for many years now. In 1998 a super stock racer could get $2000 for a class win. In 2008 lucky to get $600. That is not progress on our part. A racer used to get all kinds of free product when they went to a national event....STP....Wax....Tee Shirts....ect. but that went out years ago. National event eliminator win in S/S 1998---$1500 today $1800 with the same round money. There is no reason why the eliminator purse that is paid for the U.S.Nationals can not be paid for at all events.
