Dunlop Contingency

[leeroy996]

Leeroy, I don't see a Leeroy in the results from Homestead in Feb adn I have not seen a contingency status form from you yet.

Check for Lee Farmer; I'm pretty sure I did everything right.

I think Dunlop have cheated me out of the contingency on a technicality.

Lee I am not seeing a request form from you when I got back to the office. I will look into it.

FYI for all contingency is a form of advertising and those sponsors that offer contingency pay it based on getting a level of visilibilty and recognition that comes from 2 sources, 1 is the products being on your bike with decals that represent them. The second is in the race results that are published showing a rider used their product(ie listed in the riders personal sponsor listing)

I gave up on contingency in 2008. I won an expert national championship (Daytona) and got $75 from Pirelli. Whoop de do.

90% of the time the grids are too small or some other technicality. I don't think I'm leaving much on the table.....

Screw Dunlop!!! ......15 race wins and no contingency, I'm going back to Pirelli!!

You never should have left Pirelli.  A hundred bucks less per set is basically like getting contingency every set you buy.....

yet another reason to try the Michelin tires Gino.. there isn't that much tire contg. out there to worry about. Try em! All the guys saying they need to run dunlops at club races because they run or might run AMA races is silly.. Run the best tire you can at club events, run the spec tire when you HAVE to. Most that switch back and forth (and i know of one fast guy that does) says no set up changes required other than a minor front ride height change. You saw all the Dunlop tires being sold at Homestead.. they won't miss a couple guys switching, and you will help keep Frank Kinsey heathly and fit changing some more tires .. :)

This is directed to Eric and CCS Staff.  We greatly appreciate everything you guys do for us and realize how busy you are, especially with simultaneous races going on in different regions and having to adjust to a new scoring system.  However, we ask that you PLEASE keep in mind that many of us rely on contingencies in order to be able to race the NEXT event.  It's especially difficult when you are 1st in points in all your classes and can't miss a race weekend, yet haven't received contingency from the last two events.  Thanks for your efforts!

I've been waiting since February Homestead round.  I'm starting to think they won't pay out.

come to the dark-side LeRoy, run the Michelins :)

I am sorry i have fallen behind but should be caught up by the end of the week. Getting points sorted requered verfying results sheets and being sure those werere all correct and matched final official results posted at events. Thsi caused a log jam for me getting contignency promptly sent to the various contignecy sponsors. Now it is a priority to get fully caught up and get reports out same week as evetn as had been the norm for last several years.

They are light; make the dunnies feel like boat anchors.
