Apparently being named Mar(c|k) and having a 928 with famous lineage is a requirment for being successful at racing 928s.

How about all the names of the people who donate go into drawing and the winner gets his old motor, unopened!?

Count me in! Does this motor swap to larger displacement raise any classing issues as far as running in Speed GT? Or is this one of those as-long-as-the-valve-covers-are-stock-no-one-will-notice-the-extra-liter+-of-displacement?

That depends - if someone from this group walks up to Mark during tech inspection and yells "So, how is that new 6 liter motor running?"

The Caddy's are running 6+ liters and Mark Anderson has been running a 6+ liter motor in PCA and Speed GT for a while now, so I doubt it would change anything.

Ok, I think I did this right - follow the link below to add $$$ to the fund.

This should be easy - if for some reason it doesn't work out, I can simply refund everything.

The speed GT rule is no car over 5 years old they used to allow Anderson and Kibort to make a FEW guest appearances per year but no longer !

I have no idea - I've seen other "collections" (hate to call this a charrity) use paypal. I cannot find a solid yes or no on the site about this.

Even if they do - this is the safest way. I doubt anyone wants to collect checks / cash & keep track of it all.

I tried to add a dollar just to see what would happen - I cannot since I "own" the fund.

EDIT - Here is the answer. Does anyone have any better ideas for collecting the money:
PayPal Donations
Collect donations from a button on your website, or even using a link in an email!

PayPal Donations is a low cost way for you to accept credit card and bank account donations. Integrate PayPal Donations with your website in a few easy steps

Benefits
Save time and money collecting donations with PayPal:

Easy to implement - no CGI scripting necessary
No up-front costs - you'll have the same low fee schedule used when you receive other PayPal payments
Collect with ease - PayPal maintains detailed transaction records on our website
Freedom for your donors - donors can choose the amount of their secure donation, or you can set a fixed amount

Perhaps this person wants to contribute some money as well, since they're using his car to sell gizmos:
