What did the Mayor’s Office of Special Events say when you tried to contact them?

They looked up your parking citation history and applied your winnings to your account balance.

I’m owed money too. That goes for Downers Grove as well. I’m not holding my breath. F’ing welchers!

Has anyone inquired with Special Events Management? It ran both races and may hold the purse strings. Myself, I don’t have anything coming—alas!—so y’all are going to have to do the leg work on this one.

Did you fill out a 1090 form for the Chicago Crit?  This is a requirement if you want to get paid.  I submitted a 1090 a couple of weeks ago and I still haven’t received anything.

I am sort of glad to hear that others are also still waiting for payouts from DG and ChiCrit. For a minute there I thought they couldn’t find me way out in the sticks.

Did any of you have your winnings from StuporWeek bounce? I did :(

StupidWeek checks bouncing, go figure! That’s reason #14 to go do RAGBRAI instead!

All - I just had a very nice conversation with Anne Davis from the Mayor’s Office. The payouts from the Chicago Criterium will come from the Mayor’s Office, but they had been waiting on the paperwork from SEM to in order to get the checks out. She was working under the assumption that riders were being told 60 to 90 days and apologized for the miscommunication. The event is in good shape and they want to make it even larger in 2009 (shooting for NRC status!), so she’s going to do everything she can to expedite the mailing of the payouts and asked me to pass on her thanks for our patience.

I just got an email from my Ex, who was an official at both events.Here is what she sent me:
Ok, Hank Zemola is the CEO of Chicago Special Events and he was the promoter for both races you are inquiring about.  He is the person you have to contact about the payouts for these races.  I know the Chicago race bible states it will take about 45 days or so for the payout to happen, not sure about what Downer’s bible said.

Here is Hank’s info:

From Larry Martin, our USAC regional coordinator, regarding checks from Superweek:

“I’ll try to get it from them for you. They owe USAC $12,000 too.

Stay in touch with me and forward anyone else to me that hasn’t received payment.

Larry”

His e-mail address is: lmartin(at)usacycling(dot)org

Good luck
