If you are going to sell a bunch of raffle tickets and get OTHERS involved who are not in the Cobra community you will need a lot of exposure. To do that, you will need more than a cardboard cutout of the car being raffled. The car has to be ready to be shown, displayed well before the event.

We don't know what Kirkham's schedule is , we don't know when the car could be ready. There are many events between now and then a well placed , and displayed Kirkham could do it's magic and sell a lot of tickets combined with the prestige of CF.

If we wait until the Spring Fling, it will be just Ussens... That will limit the amount of money that can be raised.True, it will give the attendees a better chance of winning the car, but NOT necessarily raise the most money.

If the car can be put on Ebay, and sell for $80-85K, it would be a shame to settle for $40,000 worth of tickets.True it will give the average person a chance to buy a ticket and win a car, but it would be a shame to leave that much money on the table.

If we commit to a raffle and sell no more than $50,000 worth of tickets, then what. Are we going to cancel the raffle?

I think the car should go on EBAY with a high enough Reserve and we can be selling the raffle ticket with the understanding that if the car brings a lot of money from an individual (well above the rate of raffle tickets) we would refund the individual raffle ticket costs.

This all is meaningful, if the intent is to raise the MOST amount of money.
