NAtional Event Contingency

[jmcarter]

National contingency postings aside, it's still pretty remarkable to me that the first Divisional race is 5 days away, some folks are probably using snow shovels to get their race trailer out and get ready to head south and there is no official contingency postings or even official payouts posted, just a generic flyer and a FB note that purse stays same as last year. I'll give them the benefit of a doubt that they are working hard right up to the last minute to get more contingency $ in the mix but still....and then NHRA will wonder why their Divisional car counts are declining.

Where can you find an "unofficial" list? I only buy products from contingency sponsors. Also, does anyone at all post contingency for Sony/Pc Richard national opens? I emailed every sticker I had on the car and they all said no which kind of sucked since there are usually more cars at the Dutch Classic than any other race aside from Indy. McCleod Clutches obliged and sent me $100 gift certificate and Red Line Oil sent me a little care package. But aside from those two companies, And Worner family caffeinating me regularly with Vegas Fuel, I got more contingency money from a 5 round S/SS race.

The list is where it usually is on nhraracer.com. The national list is by event and gives you a spreadsheet, which is convenient. I wrote about 15 of these companies last week and got responses the same day for decals, proof of purchase requirements, etc. I'm not sure what the fussing on here is about.

Found this for the divisional listings, maybe the link will work.

Was told that manufactures have untill 2-14-2013 to have their signed contracts in for contingency postings. NHRA will not post untill contract is received. Also learned that the Moroso trailer will not be at national events because they now only post for one product. Where before they posted for three. It seems you are allowed so much footage on maufacturers way by product. Three was enough for the trailer but one wasn't. Was told they will have some presence on the Hyatt trailer.

Some good news from the WinterNationals. The contingency handout showed SOME manufacturers paying $50 for a semi-final finish. This helps bridge the large monetary gap between the last two rounds. I assume this will hold true for all national events. Yes, it was an addition, not a take away or re-distribution.
