I have heard some stories about certain Contigency sponsors not paying if someone does come in first or second place at a NDRA/NHRA Event, and was wondering if anyone actually knew who does stay committed, and pays those who win. I mean as I get the car ready for upcoming events, I would like to know that if say MSD is a contingency sponsor and I win first/second place that I am going to see the money that they have pledged to contribute, and know that I am not running their sticker for nothing. Just curious to find out what sponsors actually go through on their end of the deal.

 

i heard vagisil is pretty good about paying...

 

Funny Justin....funny....

 

does JE just give you that money torwards new pistons or something?

 

Doesn't anyone have any replies at all?

 

In all honesty, I have gotten paid from all contingency sponsors. Some take a little longer than others, but last season, got paid on 95% of what was owed to me. Brian

 

Companies vary to what they will give you but they all do..None of them want bad names, its a race themselves to sell a better product..All of mine have came through with credits on account and paying...

The companies that we have had the best experiences with are MSD, K&N and Lucas Oil; we have only had to fight with one or two companies, but overall things have been pretty smooth. I really do have to tip my hat to Lucas though; they would be a dream sponsor.

 

i've gotten payed from honda, act, and a few others i forget...Battle of the import contingencies...

Seriously? That's a first.

 

I can tell you, all of the contingencies listed on the NDRA site are very prompt in payment.
Generally no questions asked, as long as I can verify the product installed and working on the car(not on the floor in a bucket, you know who you are), stickers on the car before the finals, not after you win, and reciepts if the company ask for it.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'm sure this will help a few others out as well.

arent you on their payroll man, that should be direct deposited . . . .

 

I had great response with Weld, MSD, K&N, F.A.S.T., Honda, and never got anything from APC, JE, Modified, STR. So I guess it depends on which contigency you are eligable
