      I don't see the problem with doing someone's own car.

      1. what if you want it done differently than the built calls for? After all the Overhauling people have no say in what is done to thier cars.

      2. this would preclude maketing an image of the final car.. people would be buying into a promise of a car rather than a tangible car that exists

      3. I see much more liability in them doing the winners car then in just giving away a car.. how to complain about a little issue on a free car compared to a little issue on "your pride and joy"

      4. what if they don't overhaul the car fast enough for the owners tastes?

      5. you can always sell the won car to pay the taxes and to put the cash into your own project
      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.
