PostRaffle Idea

Hey All,

I had mentioned to some members a while back about getting a raffle going. Ultimately what I would like to do is raise some funds for a transponder kit. Actually I would like to buy the thing outright but the sensible part of me agrees that US$599 is a lot of money to spend on something that is never going to hold value.

Here's the idea, and I need some input as to what you guys think.

I have a TB-02 kit that is still shrinkwrapped, it is a Mercedes Benz bodied kit and those of you who know your tamiya's will know that although the shaft driven TB-02 is an older kit, it was a great design in it's day. I still use one and it is tune-able and spares are still available online.
What I intend to do is sell tickets for the car, the proceeds will go to the funding of the timing gear. 30 tickets at AED40 per entry, will give all the buyers a 1-in-30 chance of winning a kit....for AED 40....
The rest of the money I will stump up for the timing gear, and of course I will donate the winning kit.

Let me know what you think, and if required I can give you a link to the car. I know that drifters will not benefit from the timing gear, but as this club grows, I am sure more and more people will be interested in some touring car action as well.

I am not keen to get into trouble for staging raffles and breaking some law regarding donations etc etc, so the competition will remain part of the dubdrift environment. The winner will be selected with a random number generator to ensure fairness.

If anyone has anything that they would like to donate so that we can have a second prize, that would make it all the more worthwhile for entrants.

Lets hear your opinions.

i'd be glad to start that touring section for you (the both of us) run touring kits that are pretty damn good and the more variations of racing we creat, the better our publicity will be and the more people we can attract, just wanna let you know that you got my support all the way if this gets going very happy :cheers: :study:

Yeah, the timing system is essential in touring scenarios.
The TB-02 has a great layout, (Brother of the TB-03 and TB EVOs)

Plus, I do need a kit to use as a rally car..hehe
So why not... +)

$600! 30 tickets worth 40aed each wont be enough to raise the total cost of the transponder kit, will it be enough?

and with regards to the competition/raffle this means who ever wins the DC is not exactly gonna get the prize but who ever gets picked in the raffle draw gets it, right?

so when are we gonna do this? i could use an extra drifter and put my evo on the shelves for a while clown

@J, it wont be enough to cover the cost, but I will pay the rest.

The prize is the kit....and anything anyone else wants to donate for a second price...

Something small, like paints, parts, tires etc etc would be a good second price...

Sorry J, what is DC??? :|

Thats what I thought...Drift Competition..

To clarify, the prize for the raffle has nothing to do with the DC, or DC results, this is simply:
You buy a ticket for AED40, and choose a number, if your number is drawn, you win the kit.

If there is a donation for a smaller prize, we can make the ticket AED 50 and have a 1st and 2nd place.....this means your chances of winning increase slightly :-)
If one of the JJ Drift shop owners could contact me, I have an idea to make the raffle even better for the contestants :-) send me a PM

What we could do, is have the prize giving at the same time as the DC prize giving/results, that way we get a community vibe and have a great RC day out!!

The TB02 would be a good drifter, to give you guys an idea, its got the same geometry as the TT01, the difference is it has the motor on the other side and its completely tunable with regards to suspension settings. Although its old, theres still plenty of parts online. Could be a good spare car...1 ticket for me!

i suggest the consolation prize be given to the competition winners of novice class and advance class then the main prize will be drawn. so if its gonna be like that there should be 2 consolation prizes ready for both class.

im sure we wont reach 30 players here andy, not everyone joins the DC. some are still beginners and might not join the competition, so i suggest the ticket is solely for the tb02 raffle only so even those who wont be participating the DC can buy tickets.

so when are we gonna do this guys clown
