They post hundredth in the time splits for the 2nd and 3rd place finishers so yes, you can work out their times in hundredth. At least they did last year and AFAIK all F1 races do it. IMHO your way to look at the 1st, then 2nd then 3rd place times is better rather than having to wait a further 2-3 weeks.

Thanks for the creative thinking on the drawing. I had to head to visit my daughter at college yesterday so did not have time to look further into using the race times.

We'll do the drawing the old fashioned way. Here's my thoughts; just for fun and a little additional tension, we'll do two drawings. The first will be to narrow the group down to 10 tickets. The ten winning tickets of that drawing will then be put back in for a final drawing with the winner getting the watch. We'll plan on doing the drawing in the next few hours. I'll pullout the video recorder out and we'll do our best to tape the whole thing.

I have not yet checked to see how difficult it is to upload a video file to a post. Any simple guidance on that is appreciated.

We only have $125 in payments that I have not yet received. I'm putting all names into the drawing. If someone wins whose payment has not arrived yet, as long as I get it in the next couple of days with Postmark no later than this past Friday, they will receive the watch. We'll draw one back-up name in the very unlikely chance that this happens and I don't receive payment.

Good luck to everyone. We'll be back a bit later to do the drawing. I hope to have it done, with video posted by 3pm central.

Good Luck!!!!

Sounds like a good plan to me Steve. Thanks for doing this, I'm sure it's more involved than you expected it to be.

Well, we do have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sara and I did video the drawing. Now the challenge is whether or not someone can help us get this posted. I have not uploaded a video post before? Id this simple process? Can someone assist? I have an mpg file that is now on my laptop. What is the easiest way to get the video posted?

Thanks...

Steve

Sounds cool...you can post it on youtube., this site does not support videop...it will be fun to post the draw so try not announce it yet... :-)

That a look at http://www.google.com/support/youtub...16612&hl=en-US

Thanks. Yeah, I'd like to get the video up rather than just announcing. Mongrelcat is trying to give me some help on getting it uploaded.

Still working on getting a video to upload. Thanks for being patient! BIG thanks to Jason (mongrelcat) who has spent the last several hours helping me through this process....another example of the great people on RL.

Will update yet tonight. Hopefully we will be successful

You're welcome Steve, no big deal. I wish you luck on the upload, wish me luck on winning the raffle!

96PorscheTwinTurbo

Well, I assuming that the following link, below, will work and you will FINALLY all be able to watch the raffle drawing. One thing I need to clarify....Sara wanted me to be sure that you all knew that she is fully aware that some of you have 993's, not "933's". She kept saying 933's in the in the drawing and wanted to redo the video when she realized it.

BIG thanks to Jason (Mongrelcat). He literally walked me through several hours of condensing a 500 meg video down to a workable size and then figuring out how to get it uploaded. Amazing guy.

Thanks again, to all of you. I'll be connecting with John next week to make arrangements to send the $1500 to Rennwish. This has been a fun thing to do. I can't say enough about the quality of folks on RL

I won't reveal the winner here....watch the video. Will be sending the watch out to the winner in the next couple of days.

Congratulations to to of you for having such big hearts. Congratulations to the winner for being the new owner of a very fine Limited Edition Porsche Design Turbo watch.

Regards,


Steve

How about 2 out of 3?

J/K. Thanks Steve for putting on the raffle. You and your wife are a real class act. Enjoyed the video inc. the story behind your Porsche purchase.

This was fun and raised money for a great cause. You guys should be rolling in good karma now!
