Home Racing World

The 6th(!) Annual Michigan 24 Hour Endurance race is just around the corner – this year’s race will be held from April 15-17, 2016. In addition to the world-class racing, a hallmark of this event is the “Slot Racers Giving Back” fundraising for charity. We have some exciting changes in store that will make it easier for anyone, anywhere to participate in this year’s charity fundraising. Some of these significant changes are summarized below.

• Previous fundraisers relied on selling paper (physical) raffle tickets. This was time-consuming and inconvenient for organizers and participants alike (particularly remote contributors). This year’s fundraising will do away with paper tickets altogether. You can purchase tickets online and ticket numbers will be updated and posted regularly throughout the course of the event. Tickets are $1.00 each.

• A complete list of prizes from charity sponsors will also be published and updated regularly. We’ve already started lining up sponsors and prizes – there are a lot of GREAT prizes! A partial list of sponsors includes:

Home Racing World
RMS Resins
Changing Gears
Cloverleaf Racing
Slot Car Corner Canada
Paul Gage Tires
C.B. Design Wheels
Slot Car Corner
Quick Slicks
Bensenville Bombers

If you are interested in donating a prize for the raffle, please let us know.

• The deadline to purchase tickets online will be Sunday, April 17th at Noon ET. A final list of contributors and tickets will then be published.

• In the past, a traditional drawing was held at the end of the event – the drawing was time-consuming and required considerable effort to keep track of winners and their prizes. At this year’s event, we will “draw” prize winners electronically (randomly) and post results sometime Sunday afternoon.

As in previous years, 100% of the charity raffle proceeds will be donated to actual charities. The total raffle proceeds will be split equally 6 ways – each of the 6 teams participating in this year’s event will then donate their share to a charity of their choice.

Details about actually purchasing raffle tickets for the charity fundraiser will be published later this month. Please consider making a donation - $1, $5, $10 or whatever you can afford would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hey guys - where do I send the kits or do I direct ship to the winners?

Dave, you have a pm. :text-thankyouyellow:

For all Canadian customers (and only Canadian customers!), Slot Car Corner Canada will convert your CA$1 raffle ticket into a US$1 raffle ticket for free. Currently, that's the equivalent of a 33¢ donation from Slot Car Corner Canada for every raffle ticket bought by a Canadian slot racer at the Slot Car Corner Canada website.

You can buy your raffle tickets right here:
