Process and Procedures

One form per bike

Make sure you fill out one CRA form for each motorcycle you are registering for contingency since each bike mist be checked individually.

Print Legibly

Or, better yet, fill out the online fillable PDF’s available on the CRA website, print and bring to the track.  If we cannot read your form we cannot process your claim.  Our suggestion is to download the form, fill out the basics that do not change (racer info, etc) and print out copies for each race weekend.  Then bring one copy to each weekend and fill out the remainder at the track (vendors, dates, etc).

Deadline

You MUST have your contingency verified and singed off by Tech BEFORE the National Anthem, no exceptions.  Please do not do this last minute, as Tech may have other duties to attend to and may not have time to verify your contingency forms in time.  The responsibility of getting these forms in on time is on the rider, not Tech or Contingency.

Mark the correct registration dates

You MUST select correct Days option: Sat, Sun or both.  Tech will be checking this, but this is the responsibility of the rider to make sure this is correctly marked.  If you are registering after Saturday National Anthem you must select Sun only or Tech/Contingency will reject the forms.

How Contingency processes the paperwork

Every race weekend we collect the paperwork on both Saturday and Sunday after the National Anthem.  We verify that all entries submitted after Saturday National Anthem are marked Sun only.  All of this paperwork is gathered up and brought home for processing.

Timing and Scoring provide Contingency .csv extracts from each race listing the place holders and number of racers.  This data is run through some custom software which produces the raw spreadsheet separated by Expert and Novice.  We also correct tire vendor sponsors if incorrect from the T&S data.  Note that at this time we have been experiencing some issues with this data, but believe we have resolved the issue.  This has resulted in May and June data being delayed in processing due to the extra work to verify from MyLaps data.

Once we have the spreadsheet we then go through each contingency filing to see if the racer placed high enough in any qualifying race.  For each qualifying race we highlight the rider’s name on the spreadsheet and fill out the appropriate entries on the tire vendor paperwork to prepare for submittal.  Once we have gone through all races and collected all paperwork, we submit the proposed payout to all riders on the CRA website and MNSBR for verification.    Any discrepancies reported are checked against MyLaps and corrected if needed before submittal.  We allow up to 1 week for responses before submitting the paperwork to the vendors, based on various factors.

End of year programs (Pit Bull, etc) are processed via end of year standings in each Division and Class.

Future Direction

We are looking to improve the CRA Contingency offerings.  If you have any suggestions or contacts with vendors please get them in touch with us at Contingency@CRA-MN.com
