Great stuff cooking...smells good.
Look, as JP noted, a whole bunch of money was made from Fling III because a manufacturer and others that really gave a damn stepped and donated the roller, the parts, motor and a good deal of time/effort to finish it off. Seems to me that unless a car is donated that way...the raffle concept falls flat on its face. The numbers prove that.
So, if no raffle...if there must be some fundraising angle, send the money in to Turk, raise it locally like some damn good folks have done, or cut way down on overhead and let the majority of the entry fees go to the cause.
Otherwise, grab a wino from downtown Columbus, make him King Cobra for the day, give him rides until he pukes, slip him a few bucks and dump his a$$ on the way out of town.
I'm sorry, but for all the last minute effort that I saw folks put in to get IV off the ground during the last month and a half, handing CF a check for eight grand is pitiful. I and others from the left coast spent that much just shipping four cars to previous Flings...not even counting airfare, lodging, food...
Yes, the last minute nature of the deal due to the sniper played havoc with the planning and cut into the bottom line...but eight freeking thousand bucks?
Oops, need to get my fat a$$ outta the kitchen...lo siento.
