Title: Pirelli Contingency??
Post by: dylanfan53 on September 12, 2003, 08:41:17 PM
I'm still waiting for something (anything!) from 5/31 and 6/1.  I've tried e-mailing the two contacts at Pirelli but the e-mails get bounced back.  I heard they've left the Co.  An e-mail to the company's customer service yielded no results.
Anyone have a contact or suggestion??  I'm getting just a little bit peeved ???

Well, happily I received a response from Mandi at Pirelli.  She says...
"I didn't receive results for the race weekends that you mentioned, so you need to let CCS know that I didn't receive those results and they need to send them to me so I can assign your contingency.  I need the race results and also the contingent Award Earning Report that they send me for each race. Once I have that, I will be able to award your contingency."

I fill out the contingency sheet every weekend and turn it in at tech.  Did I miss something?  I've been paid before so I don't think so.

Any idea who i should contact?

TIA

We have not received anything from that weekend either.  Now I know NO ONE received anything.  

I talked with Bill about it and he said to contact Ken Abbott about this.  I was going to do this on Thursday.  

Ken's e-mail address is:  kennethabbott@clearchannel.com

Thanks, Dawn.  I'll send him an e-mail tonight from home.  If I keep playing on the 'puter at work I'll get busted!

Probably, but the expiration period doesn't start until I print it out so I'll still be able to use it next year.  
I did receive a prompt response from him this morning that he will look into it and get back with some information so hopefully it will get resolved.  Since others haven't been paid, I'll post any info that I get.

Yep.  It's only bout 75 minutes from my front door.  I've only been on that track once this year though so I'll be kinda rusty.
I plan to run around a bit at the practices on Friday.  I have to work Saturday but I'll be back for the racing festivities on Sunday. Can't wait!

Barring any catastrophies, we should be there Friday night, practice on Saturday  :o and race on Sunday.

You think YOU'RE rusty, Paul hasn't been there since last year.

See you soon,

Dawn   :)

From Kenny...

Dave,
 
I will check into the situation this morning.  Each event's results and contingency paperwork is usually handled before Wednesday after each event and fully processed / in the hands of each contingency sponsor within a week after each event for payment.
 
I will check on that specific event and see if there was a hold up for some reason.  You can always print the results from the web site for your personal records.

I have those, but how does that help me apply for the contingencies?

That weekend...  full grids....  Paul's best weekend....  It figures that there would be a problem.  Story of my life.   ::)

I'm going to call them too.

Well Dave...Looks like Mr. Abbott has his form letter down pat.   My letter is exactly the same, word for word. :-/
Good luck, Dawn.
