Does it matter! .....HELL YES ........we chase that elusive Wally not only for the glory and the "points", but the money. ..........Most of us will only hope to make it to the money rounds,but when we do get there, there must be something other than the pittance that NHRA offers to make it worth it all.. The contingency program is NHRA's way of shifting the payout burden to someone other than themselves........With the economic crisis we are facing , the sanctioning body must step up and make up the difference in payout. ......I had a ten year drought between National event finals,and I can tell you I got about $3000 less for the latest one!!...............Racers like Dan ,when he's not making a hilarious post, can really shed the light on how much the actual purse has diminished over the last decade. ...........It does not matter how many racers are actually going to get the money, the potential for getting the payout is what matters........Tom

Actually it is funny if you know the payout history of those three companies,

Dan don't forget to add Jet Hot to that list. They had a full page ad to let us know they are still around and posting for everything again.

Forget about JET HOT...spoke to CSR this week and should be paid for last years events by the end of the month.....Crane is like a 401k....you wanna look....but when you do there's nothing there.

What month is that Joe?? April, May or June of 2010?? JW just called me a few minutes ago and said my new wheel and remaining money were sent out today!!!

The sad thing is you have to pester these people constantly if you want to get paid! When we buy their products, do we take 3 or 4 months to pay them?? Especially not when you have to buy in on the midway!!!

Dan, where are you going on your vacation when you get your checks from them?? Wait.......the 09 season will be here by then! Forget it!
