Michelin contingency problems! GRRRRRRRRRRR!

I believe the Mid-Atlantic region will now be serviced by Sportbike Track Time. Check with Monte Lutz or Quintin Mize, instead of Walt.

The issues you guys are having may be resolved a couple of ways.

If I had a rider claiming he did not get paid, I would ask that rider to make some copies of the official race results from that region. We would then check to make sure that the classes entered had the minimum number of racers to be eligible for awards. With the full season of race results in hand we would send this into Michelin along with a verification from the regional race distributor that all requirements were followed. A tally of what should have been paid to that rider and things got taken care of.


Filling out the rider registration sheet once a year, along with a tech form every race weekend.
Patches on leathers, stickers on bike and listing Michelin as a sponsor, 8 to 10 bikes per class. Basic stuff.

I have seen racers with race results posted on the web site for the full season that did not check to see that the promotor listed the proper brand of tire as a riders sponsor.

Riders jump around from tire to tire and not keep the folks in race control or tech informed to make the required changes to the official results posted on the web.

 What happens when the folks at whatever tire you are racing go to the site to verify compliance for the program? See the wrong brand posted, You don't get paid!

I don't know yet what issue cbrf4_269 has had with his contingency program, but I'll try and be of service if you want me to.
