If you have not received your conting. money up through Daytona, please call me! 954-565-7670 or email me at vpflorida@aol.com :)
Just a little FYI to everyone else...Texas received a list that was supposed to be 'complete'. (meaning both Formula and CCS) As it turned out (with the help of a little FL investigating ;)) CCS was never listed only Formula. So, we lost a little time there. :-[ :-/
If you have moved or had any change in your address since signing up w/CCS for contingency, guess where your check is going... 8)

they've been slowly coming in...
Last week Super Dave started this string in reference to VP Contingency concerns. I immediately sent him a personal email offering to 'personally' take care of what ever issues he had. What gives Dave?
I would like to extend this courtesy to each of you. I will be more than happy to field any of your question or concerns.

I don't have a problem. However, in years past, I think that was when the Coastal/Anna Nicole Smith problems were around, people didn't get paid their VP contingency. Gotta look to see if anyone is getting paid before I'd think about running it for contingency.
I have yet to receive anything from all of SW and P
season. >:(
just got a check from Summit Point (9/6-7)
i got a check two weeks ago for a July event. Still waiting for my Summit and Daytona payouts. :D
Dave, I really don't imagine you giving up your well documemted relationship with Power Mist for VP
In the midwest CCS ( Great Plains & Great Lakes events no) VP contingency is offered. Anyone can sign up, many do. But to actually qualify you had to purchase at least 10 gallons. And this from your authorized track side vendor. 5 gallons won't do. 20 gallons from your buddy down the street hustling a deal from VP won't cut it either.
The moment CCS forwards that weekends official results and contingency sign ups to VP (which often times might have been several weeks) I get a call from VP verifying those who actually purchased fuel.
Many people sign up, but never purchase fuel through the official source, thus losing out on cash money.
If thats your case, don't hold your breath waiting for a check.
If thats not the case, call me and I will get it sorted out with VP midwest.

So, Matt, you get to pay the contingency in return for special pricing?
At Road America, the VP guy from Indy was all over me to be a distributor, which I thought was rather forward, since he didn't know me.
I value loyalty, so I would expect that he should recommend his people that are selling the product.
As for Power Mist, yeah, again loyalty too. But I always take the time to look at things. I've got a project for next year that I'm working on.
Thanks for the reply Super Dave. I didn't think it was you having contingency problems since you are a powermist dealer. ::) The fact that you coach quite a few riders both novice and professional was not lost on me. I thought perhalps one of your 'students' or friends had mentioned something to you.
By the way, I admire your loyalty. The office in S.FL is run by that standard. We don't set dealers up next to each other and in return expect the same loyalty from our dealers. I seem to be infamous for the passionate attack protecting a dealer in Jennings. We are a family in FL.
Matt hit the nail on the head with the problems involved with running a contingency. You will always have the few that try to pull one over on you. Unfortunately, before contingency is paid out, paperwork must be received from CCS and checked. The process in FL has been running approx. 2 months. Bear in mind, Henry D is my angel in getting me what is needed and Cheryl R. in Texas is more than patient with my constant phone calls.
OK, I'll get off the soap box.
P.S. Super Dave should move to FL and become a dealer ;D You can race year round...no snow to deal with.
All the best

I can understand the nightmare. I'll agree that you've got an angel on your end. And you're not on a soap box...no problem.

You all obviously make too much money. How can anyone afford to race year round? LOL, Besides, riding on the ice...most people haven't done it, but once you've done it...It's got everything and it's cheap.

Matt, one of your statements is inaccurate. Once we get the results, we send the contingency claim forms with a copy of the results to Pat Murphy. It has never been more than a couple of days turn around, never weeks.
Is there such a concept as "too much money" ;)
I'll have to take your word on the ice racing. 100% Native! ;D One week of snow :P ready to go home! I am a dyed in the wool sun worshiper. :)
