ama146 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know how long it takes approximately for contingency checks to come in the mail? I have been waiting about 3 weeks so far with no signs of any yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue03636 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 They do have an expiration set from the time they mail them out. The point being that the org has to mail in the results and the company then has to get everything mailed out. The only ones you probably can't use this year will be the last few rounds. If you don't like it you could always not sign ip for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 takes forever. Best bet is to call the company and place an order. They should have a record of your certs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood33 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm still waiting on some from round 2 at Nelson. Oh well, it will just be a nice little bonus when I do get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ama146 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I can call Bridgestone and place an order directly using contingencies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I would call stick boy and ask him. He is cool dude and can work it out hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 First, make sure they had enough riders and you got qualified to earn the contingency. Typically, you need to sign up every round and usually, there isn't much oif any for novices.As for length, understand one thing you will need to know if a serious racer... Contingency is something you should look at as a year end amount to offset your expenses to do this sport. Consider it a bonus check of sorts. You spend "X" amount of money and get some back. But, to rely on it through the year simply tells me you are on a tight budget and are living pay check (contingency) to paycheck and that doesn't last long.
