Hello Mark,
Thank you for the feedback. As Kurt mentioned, it's tough for participants to post updates about the event once it begins. Rob, the raffle organizer, was busy with last minute raffle ticket sales, actually racing in the event, marshaling for his team, helping out the Atlanta team who had a sick racer, etc.. Once this event starts, participants have virtually zero down time for 36 hours and then are dead tired. In retrospect, Rob probably stretched himself a bit too thin; however, it's hard to find fault with someone whose heart is in the right place. Hopefully raffle participants will give Rob just a little more time to post raffle winners.
That said, I do have a partial list of raffle winners - these are just for the items donated by SCC and SCCC.
1)Steveew HRW $25 SCC gift certificate
2) Dave Z Fumey Fly Corvette Speedvision #98
3) Beslotted. HRW. Piranha motor & SCCC bushings
4) Junior HRW Tom. CBD Wheels & SCCC bushings
5) Mark Ryan CBD Wheels & bushings
6) Mark Henderson SCC lube kit, spacers & SCC hat
7) Dan Dyke HRW. Quick Slicks Banner
8) Art Roberts. Cloverleaf. SCC banner
9) Smokieo. CBD Wheels, I gave him his bushings
10) Mark from Georgia. CBD Wheels. I gave him his bushings
11) Adam Piranha banner. You could send it to Mike. He sees Adam a lot.
12) Smokieo. SCC set-up block
13) James. Scalextric Maserti #42. You can send it to mike. Raced on your team
14) Pascal. Piranha motor I gave him his bushings
15) Pascal. Carrera VW group 5
16) Mike. Cloverleaf. SCC lube kit, spacers & hat. HA. HA I think he has enough of this stuff
17) Steve SCC lube kit, spacers & hat. Send to mike, he races at the store, on the Cincy team.
We'll have to wait for Rob, the raffle organizer, to post the complete list.
As Kurt also mentioned, more timely updates about the event, raffle, etc. is an area where we can improve. One of the ideas we have kicked around is having a volunteer focus exclusively on live event updates throughout the actual event. This would be a non-racer - someone who is basically the eyes and ears for online forum members following the event. Pittsburgh is note that far from Fenton, MI (hint, hint...).
We are also looking at ways to streamline posting raffle results. Instead of waiting until the end of the event to "manually" select prize winners, we might have the computer pick the winners and then post the winning ticket numbers. This could be done once the cutoff for raffle ticket sales ends and before the end of the event.
Again, thank you for sharing your feedback.
