Appearance Raffle

Would anyone be interested in a raffle sort of deal where 100 people put $5 in a pot and a winner is drawn at random and wins a new Ram Air hood ?

I think it would be sweet, now granted 1 in a 100 is not great odds , but its a heck of a lot better than the lottery or probobly even winning a scratch off ticket.

Plus some lucky thirdgenner would get a $5 Hood ...

That would be sure to make thier ride look sweet....er

I think that would be a good idea. Not sure what everyone else thinks though. A hood for $5 is pretty cheap if you win

1 % odd's and you only have to spend 5 bux, heck yeah. It'd rule to win a great hood and only have to spend 5 dollars on it.

Sounds like a good idea but, I am sure everyone would want to be there for a raffle. And since everyone lives in different areas, not sure how it would work out. But it would be a sweet idea.

That would sound like a good idea. I would not do it becauses the RA2 hood is too aggressive for me. $5 is not a lot. I am sure some of you spend more than that per shot at a bar.

to ensure fairness, someone could host a live videoconference at a set time with a few observers. you'd also need to tape it with a real videocamera to ensure it's accurate (i.e. even tape cutting up the list of names and pouring them into the hat). also pan over to something live on tv so that they know you only drew once...

while this isn't totally fool-proof, it makes it much much harder to cheat someone. and no, i'm not hosting or putting in for it, i'm not a big enough fan of the ram air hood on these car to want one.

Sounds like a good idea, but how is $500 going to pay for a $575 hood?
