Raffle at Carlisle

There's going to be a raffle at the Speedster Meet in Carlisle.

We're looking for donations to the cause. Do you have any old Speedster parts lying around the garage? How about an interesting Speedster book? A bottle of wine? A Speedster t-shirt or two? Golf balls? Maybe a nice grille badge? A nice set of wide-fives, a newly-modified T-1 or custom tube frame?

Bill Drayer is starting us off with not one but TWO sets of 356 reflectors! I've also heard some rumblings from Gordon Nichols. I'll have to dig around the house and see what I can find.

We'll hold the drawings Saturday afternoon (time to be determined) at the hospitality tent so folks who decide to head home Saturday evening or early Sunday morning won't miss out.

Only 20 more days!!! Okay, whatcha got?

Okay, I dug around in the garage and found one set of black seat belts, a Porsche grille badge and a set of 360 degree Turboflares for the raffle. Still looking for more stuff. Anyone else?

Bruce, For the raffle, I would like to offer a DVD put together by a member of the 356 Registry entitled "KTF 356, The Old Porsche DVD".
It is a collection of Period Racing Footage of the 1960's.
as well as footage of the 1963 PCA Parade, Sebring, Euro Racing and some clips from USA Porsche Dealerships and Tourist Delivery of that era and more.

Cool stuff for the Historian !

One new " vertical extractor tip" 3 bolt mount about 20" long sticks up in the air , powdercoated silver......will do a search of the shop archives to see what else I have .

I have a brand new, never been worn (I swear) Speedster Polo, size M which I will try to remember to pack for your raffle. Also, I'll try to make certain that no Tellico Tea spills on it, which would be a terrible waste of the tea.

OK, when I left the last house (where Chris is now living) and moved here to the micro state, I jettisoned, literally, three TONS of stuff and some of that was "useless" or surplus kit build stuff. Whatever I have left ain't worth much to anybody.

So........for the raffle, I'll put up one bottle each of Sakonnet Vinyards Wine (It's all International Award Winning stuff and made right down the street from me). One each: "Eye of the Storm", Fume Vidal (won best in show at the 2003 Tokyo wine Festival) and Gewurztraminer (Which just won best of show at the recent Monterey Wine Festival).

No, none of them have a Speedster on the label, but they're all REALLY GOOD WINE!

Maybe I can get Chris to kick in a 4-pack of Murphy's Irish Stout as the contribution from "Five Cent Racing (Eclipse Division)"!

P.S. How about we have some interesting East Coast SOC awards, like: "Coolest accessory, Best use of color, East Coast Spirit Award, Best Exhaust Note, Best Use of Trunk Space, Best Hawaiian Shirt, the "Limped-in-anyway" award, the "Old Timers Award" for our oldest attendee, the "Whippersnapper Award" for the Youngest Attendee, the "Wicked-Coolest-Car-in-the-whole-damn-show" award, or some others like that.

Any other ideas out there?

A few people have sent emails to me asking about the raffle. No need to send anything in advance. Just bring your "stuff" to the hospitality tent on Friday or Saturday so everyone can see what's up for grabs. We'll plan the drawing for Saturday afternoon so people who drive in only for the day don't miss out.

Hey Gordon, the wine sounds great!

Sounds good. I'll bring something from up north here. Maybe a 'summer toque/tuque' - not to be confused with a ski headband.

As long as it says "Roots" on it........getting tired of seeing all this "Nike" stuff down here!!!

Bruce,
The "donations to the cause" from the raffle goes to what cause?
Just curious; or did I miss the explanation in this thread?

Greg

A truly honorable cause - Goodies for the Meet: long distance trophy (photo to be posted Tuesday night), nametags, refreshments, table for the tent, gifts for the speakers, a couple of raffle items, etc. Oh, and a new Speedster....just kidding. This is a non-profit event, if we don't drink what's left we'll send it to Theron.

Someone please take a video camera and post a movie of your car show so we can see it on the left side.

I will bring my vid cam and will make a movie. The night runs, the show etc...

You da man, Mike.

You guys better keep something in mind...

Another word for pictures and video is evidence.

Speaking of which, anybody want an original VW motor out of Gordon's donor VW Bug? It's in the corner of the garage just hanging out. I'll be more than happy to bring that to Carlisle to "raffle off" (read: "give away so you can clutter up your garage instead").

Chris

Yeah, I second that.....it's a single-port 1600 from a 1969 sedan.....estimated 70K miles on it. Didn't smoke or anything when I drove it up the driveway, and didn't leak appreciably. All parts are there except for the heater boxes and some of the cooling tins.

Might make a good raffle item at that! Bruce: It's yours.....

Jerome:

Regarding "evidence", I'm officialy pleading the Fifth as of today and not even waiting for the 21st or the videos. It's going to be difficult wearing a mask and sunglasses all weekend :>)

Gordon/Chris:

If you guys want to lug that engine to Carlisle we'll raffle that baby. I'm not sure who is going to want to stow it in the rear seat of their Speedster to cart it home but the guys who are trailering might be interested. Of course if no one wants it you have to agree to truck it back home. LOL

Well, if no one wants it we can always put a "for sale" sign on it and sell it........

Wait!

You've got a boat!

How about a mooring anchor for your tender/dingy?

It's OK I will not make the photos or videos available to the Pentagon. Really, it's just for us.
