ITR Expo Raffle? *feeler* --> post approved by Len.

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to put some numbers together for management to ok a few things to help with the Expo this year.

On top of the normal sponsorship, I wanted to get together a raffle for a "Complete B18C5 Engine with transmission."

Judging by the number of participants last year, we can get the raffle tickets as low as $25 and worse case scenario tickets would run about $50.00 per ticket.

Now I want to get a feeler on this. I want to know how many people would be interested in something like this. Whether or not we should open this up to Expo members alone or to any Honda Tech member. Regardless, the drawing will be held at the Expo and the winner would have the option of taking the motor home with them or have it drop shipped to them.

A little info on the engine. The transmission will be the only thing that is separate. The Entire longblock will be completely assembled with valve cover and timing belt. It's pretty much a drop in replacement. There will be no clutch assembly, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, fuel rail, throttle body..etc. Just a bare long block. This will give you more options to customize the engine to your liking.

Now this poll is a little tricky. I want you to vote the "maximum" amount of money you would personally pay for a ticket. Of course you may purchase as many tickets as you please to increase your odds.

Again this is only a *feeler* to see how many people will be interested so we may figure out if we can absorb the cost. Any additional profits will be donated.

The reason why this is here, IS.. Because I can keep this poll honest and not filled with BS votes.

Lets do the right thing, and make this awesome idea of Len's work!

same here, i guess i would pay 50 for a chance to win a c5, but 25 would sell more tickets. 50 is getting pricey.
