After the issue was brought to my attention concerning participants not living in the U.S. , I was informed that you must have a U.S. residence to participate in the raffle. So anyone outside the country would have to use a "relative's" address and contact information in order to participate. Best of luck to all...

Is that 7,000 tickets total or just 7,000 tickets from Rennlist members?

I joined something like this once for a good cause and my 1 in 1000 buy in was shared with a real 1 in 1,000,000+ chance from different agencies raffling the same prize .

LMK, good luck either way

Chris

Anyone want to know what 500+ HP feels like, you start to shake, you feel very nervous and get butterflies in your stomach. Thanks Joe for showing me the car, it was great to meet you and tour your machine. I went for a ride and looked over the black beauty this past thursday in Vegas. The car is mint. Paint is in great condition, looks perfect inside, the wheels are absolutely sick looking with like 4 angle dishes in the rear and 3 in the front, all chromed up and polished. The dash is new, the engine bay is so clean its upsetting compared to mine. Seeing the 3.0 liter motor is just jaw dropping in person, it had no signs of oil leaks and the waterpump and alternator and belts were brand new upon initial inspection as im sure most of the motor is too. Then we went for a ride set to 16 psi max boost pressure. The car is fast, very very fast. We reached a speed approaching that of race cars at Indy in a very short time. I think that from 30 mph coming off an onramp we only went about 3/4 of a mile and by that time we were closing in to the upper section of Joe's speedo. I dont want to scare anyone, but in the truth of it all this car could easily do 190+ mph if you pushed it. After we got back from the ride I told Joe what a nice car he had, how normal it drove and idled compared to a stock car, and how it performed so well when pushed. I cant imagine how fast the car could be if its boost level was raised to 23 or 25 psi. Only the new owner will know for sure. Thanks again Joe for the tour and hope to meet up with you again and hang out longer. If anyone needs specific details on this car from a second hand source just ask me and ill give you my 2 cents. Good luck

Crazyracer, not many at all. The advertisements have not come out yet so when they do I think they will come in more steadily. As it stands right now, we may sell only 3500 tickets or so. Odds look better and better all the time for all of you. Good luck!

HRS1, you can buy as many as you want. Thinking about it, even if we make the limit of seven thousand, you already have a 1 in 3500 shot at winning. Winning the lottery is 1 in 210 million. Buying seven would put you at 1 in 1000 shot. That's if we meet the limit. All of you who buy a ticket should come out to Vegas for the drawing. It's at the Nevada Landing Hotel and casino. Room rates are rock bottom all year round. It's actually just outside of Vegas in Jean.

Conversationally, I just received my weekly edition of AutoWeek. The feature story and cover is their test drive of the New Carrera GT. At MSRP of 440,000, I have 51 less hp and 25 more tq than the mighty beast. Also I have none of the engineering wonders of the car. Still at comparable power and almost 200 lbs lighter, I bet that car would hand it to me for sure. That car has got to be rated very conservatively. Whom ever wins my car, I hope you find one on the road someday and run with it. It would be awesome to see what your $100 investment does against Porsches most powerful, and technologically advanced, half a million dollar supercar.

Dfastest, Do we need to be present to win at the drawing and if not how will the winner be contacted and such?
