VP FUELS CONTINGENCY.. HOW COME I CANT COLLECT???

[MELK-MAN]

im donwn here in the FL S.E. region.
5th from my 1st race day and 3 1st since then this season.. i have called "BPM" in my area at 727-441-4867 MANY times to try and get info on this VP contingency program. I can not so much as get a return call. The ultimate 4 fuel is expensive (compared to pump gas i suppose)  at $60/can. I have purchased the gas at Jennnings GP each time. I understand they pay $50/1 time for a given race day for 1st, 5th, 10th..im doing my part with stickers and listing as a sponsor, but for the life of me.. i cant collect!!! Anyone else had trouble with this program?
any info would be appreciated..

I visited the midwest VP guy in Terre Haute and asked about contingency.  He told me the way it works is I have to buy two cans of VP from the authorized trackside distributor (which means whatever I bought directly from the Terre Haute guy didn't count) for each class (or was it race weekend?) I enter, and then they pay 1,5,and10th places in those classes.

Well that's a bunch of VP - I don't go through a can in the whole weekend, racing GT Lights, and three or four sprint classes, so I decided to forget about seeing any money from them.

I pay 40$ per 5 gal here in knoxville for ultimate 4. As far as contingency I think you have to buy from certain dealers and buy certain amount to be eligible. I gave up on trying to collect.

You are suppose to contact your VP rep and sign a contengency agreement. You have to buy your fuel from VP directly in quatity of 15 gallons. After you finished 1st 5th or 10th you will be issued a check for $50. Thats what I understand. You have to go through VP directly to sign up.

You have to buy 10 gallons a weekend...I asked last weekend at Las Vegas.  They said they don't even look at any sales listed as less than 10 gallons. >:(

thanks, i acutally was in touch with Lisa at VP in texas and she gave me the lowdown. I provided all kinds of info to her and am hoping to collect for a 5th and 2 wins.. we shall see. i didnt have reciepts but got a letter from the track director where i buy my fuel. she said that could be sufficient for verifying the purchases.

is this the what you have to do for every race? if it is sounds like a pain in the Azz just to get paid thru them.

The VP contingency program is tough.  Not only did I have to buy my fuel from the trackside supplier (which I really don't have a problem with), but I had to tell him, before the races, which 2 races I wanted to count...and the fact that it was a twin sprint weekend didn't mean squat as far as being eligible for 4 races instead of 2.
