Worst/Late or non paying contingency sponsors

FED 387 · 03-06-2014, 07:30 PM

Sponsors are very clear when it comes to what a competitor must do to be paid any contingency monies--- Unfortunately I wish they were as concerned about fulfilling their obligations when it's time to pay the EARNED contingency monies-- I know many racers that race with the car devoid of many "paying contingency sponsors" who for some reason manage a way to finagle out of paying!!!! It's BS we know it is- they know it is and NHRA pretends to be totally oblivious to it--- Those decals can come off in a minute if need be-- Money talks BS walks ---Pay the money it isn't gonna break em for 25-300 dollars if it is they have no business trying to be big operators. And NHRA should enforce it----Suggestion if the sponsor has not paid you in a reasonable amount of time and you satisfied all the requirements necessary. show up at their company unanounced if its close and tell them you are their to pick up your check -- you will scare the hell out of them bet you get your money ASAP- kinda a same story but I had a problem getting certain parts from a well known Transmission company---all kinds of excuses for several months from them finally got on a plane flew to their facility and announced I was tired of their BS I'm here to pick up my stuff--shoulda seen the look on their faces they were totally flabbergasted-- I picked up my parts in about 15 minutes---never had problem with them again

Hi Michael, lookin forward to Columbus

Some don't care. Just depends. We have a Pro Trans and a Rossler Trans. Carl ( Rossler) He told me " you paid me the money for the tranny, so I'll pay". He doesn't really care which one is in the car at that particular race.

Like I posted earlier if they dont pay out all they signed up for .They have to write NHRA a check for the balance ,so why would NHRA push this
