If you go to the XTRM website you can see that Pirelli is now offically contracted their services. I know in years past there have been some complaints, they have been heard and answered. As many of you know, XTRM is a great system that works like clockwork. There are still some final details to be put in place, but rest assured payouts will be seamless this season.... http://www.xtrm.com/web/index.aspx Cyclepath Racing LLC Midwest Pirelli Race/Track Distribution
Man, this would be great if it works out! Is that the link? Where do we get the "official" link? I still need to sign up this year!
I applied last night and it said my pro account would be activated as soon as Pirelli confirmed the application.
Yup, just went through the steps and got that same message. So what is the advantage of this? Does XTRM pay faster or what?
Michelin uses XTRM, and the feedback from those folks is they love it. Payouts will be lightning fast and YOU CAN USE THE CARD ANYWHERE! Good as cash.
Using the card anywhere is great, but my experience is that XTRM is very slow paying out. I usually have to bug them with several emails to get credit. I hope you guys have better luck than me.
Let's just say the only complaint on Pirelli is the speed in which contingency was applied. XTRM fixes that.
XTRM will be slower on Michelin this year but they will also be accurate. Grabbing raw results from mylaps.com was not a really good idea. We will be sending results/reports directly to XTRM so that should help.
mine were fast and accurate all year except for a little mistake at the Michelin cup, but I know what you are saying. sometimes I got paid within 5 days of the event, it was really nice to have tire money to use when it was needed instead of after the season was over like in past years. lets just hope WERA doesnt slow it down too much, as long as it stays within 3-5 weeks it is all good.
