IMPORTANT SPONSOR LISTING POLICY
To get your Contingency and Class Sponsor MONEY or AWARD you MUST list sponsors by submitting the SPONSOR FORM to the REGISTRATION DESK at the track (or to the office FAX 1-888-334-0166 prior to the pre-entry deadline). Do NOT submit the SPONSOR FORM to Tech. Many contingency providers are downloading results info directly from our website after the race this season. If you have not submitted the SPONSOR FORM as instructed listing that company you will NOT get your money and WE CANNOT FIX THAT AFTER THE RACE under the new system used by contingency providers. Download the SPONSOR FORM here http://www.cmraracing.com/pdf/2016/F...ONSOR_LIST.pdf
The CMRA must verify Class Sponsor listings before Class Sponsor Awards are delivered at the track.
If you are competing in a class that has a Class Sponsor and you do not have that Class Sponsor listed in your results, you will not receive the award provided for that class finish.
SPONSOR LIST FORM must be submitted new each year. Lists of Sponsors are not carried over from the previous year. The SPONSOR LIST FORM only needs to be turned in once per year; after a Sponsor is listed you do not need to add them each race only submit a new SPONSOR LIST FORM if you need to add or delete a sponsor.
