Red Tornado Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Will all sponsor/contigency decals be at the nationals Greg? Or do we need to try and get all this together before hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Staff Greg G. Posted August 31, 2006 Author National Staff Share Posted August 31, 2006 Will all sponsor/contigency decals be at the nationals Greg? Or do we need to try and get all this together before hand? That info was in the e-mail I sent today--did you not get it? As far as I know, the only decals that you can get at the track are the GRM and Hawk decals. You order the Solo Performance decals on-line with the link above. I am waiting to hear from Argent Labs about their procedure, but I sent them an e-mail through their contact page with my address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hankook Tire America Corp. and Hankook Motorsports have provided a 2006 contingency award program that NASA Performance Touring racers are eligible to partake in, and they have now opened it up to NASA TT drivers at the NASA Championships. Please thank Hankook for this generous offer, I really do appreciate it and all the other contingency offers extended to Time Trials. One thing however - please let them know not to be discouraged if alot of drivers don't take advantage of this. At this point I'm sure most drivers already have their tires purchased, I know I got mine last week (went Kumho but had considered the Hankook slick-style rcomp). I hope to see this offer in place again next year and hopefully announced earlier. If so - I'm sure the participation will be much higher! Thanks again for all of your hard work setting up these contingencies, it really is appreciated! - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
