Protouring Raffle Poll

[Steve1968LS2]

Responces:
1. The build would be driven by a budget (I would imagine). If you are within that constraint, then let the owner be involved in the car's direction.

2. True, can't argue with that. But, DIY and overhaulin do it all the time, granted those are give-aways and not raffles.

3. Liability is only paperwork. There would have to be some sort of release for any car give away.

4. Schedule could be defined in the Rules and Conditions.

5. You could do this with any car.

Personally, I like the idea of having my own car done most. I think that would drive ticket sales as much as being able to market a car. My answers are not educated through any experience, so I may be off base, but these are my thoughts on the above isssues.

Valid points but what if the owner has a 64 Riviera and wants that done.. now you have a car with little to no aftermarket (that equals no donated parts) and a LOT more fab work. Also, since there is no car being raffled it will be impossible to get sponsors on board since they will not even know if the winning car will be able to use thier products.

There is something anti-climatic about raffleing off a promise where all the action takes place AFTER the winner is chosen and everyone quits caring as much because they don't have a horse in the race any more.

Also, what about the guys that want to play but don't have a car? The Overhauling approach is good in concept but tough to execute, especially from a marketing standpoint.. When you are advertising the raffle what would you show? An empty lift with the words "imagine your car here"? By having a tangeble item that people can see and want you are selling something rather than the idea of something.



The excitement of the Raffle pretty much ends once the winner is picked. By building the car afterwards the interest level in the build will be very minimal compared to watching the build of a car that YOU MIGHT WIN. Watching the car come together is the sort of thing that makes people buy tickets and pay attention.

I hope some of that made sense..
