Title: 2008 Pirelli payouts
Post by: LongDogRacing on January 20, 2008, 10:47:48 AM
Hello everyone,

http://www.us.pirelli.com/en_US/browser/attachments/pdf/08_CCS_payout.pdf

Ref: the above link: Does this mean that Pirelli won't be paying out for 4th and 5th places this year?

Thanks,
--Justin

Looks that way to me.

Michelin is paying 300 for 1st in some classes... most I saw Pirelli pay was 175....  I was thinking of switching to Pirelli, but I don't know now (not that I make much, if any in contingency).

i'm also leaning towards the Michelins.  i like that they payout in cash and not credit for more tires.  (i also understand that you don't have to wait forever and a day for the payout, too!)

They were definitely quick in getting the balance updated.  I've not heard good things about Pirelli in that regard...

Of course, the Michelins are French, so that's a bit of a bummer. ;)

Bridgestone has great contingency for 08.  I have been hearing great things about their slicks.

They actually give you a debit card that your winnings get posted to.. Pretty quick and very handy......

+1

It is supposed to be all kinds of awesome. I liked the PRC/PR5/PR3 just fine.
