    Better yet, why not have a extreme low mile original MSO 92' RT/10 and a 17' ACR in that raffle as a pair. That way you (I mean me) can have it all.

    .......As a recent example of why we need to be diligent, we even had someone try to derail NVE's doorprize by placing an "anonymous" call to the local police telling them we had an "illegal raffle" happening at NVE... Amazing. They reviewed what we were doing, and actually stood there to be sure every technicality was followed, and of course deemed it legal... It's the world we live in. But at least it demonstrates we pass scrutiny because we do our homework.

    So Angleiron, we'd love to, just can't! : )
    I bought lots of tickets in the old days, but Im glad to see that gaming activities are no longer the backbone of a not-for-profit treasury.

    Learning by the mistakes of others, and from ones own mistakes, has turned out to be a good thing here. The attorneys you hired essentially confirmed what you had already learned in 2013, just 3 years ago this month. Happy Anniversary.

    Calling the Local Police about an ersatz MI 'door prize' would be a silly call. Might as well call animal control. That first MI event in NVE was tainted by a lot of prior bad-history. And some of the same players. Even Chrysler had reason to worry, and keep a distance. I bet there were several entities concerned enough to take a look to make sure the mold was broken. But you are still "wishing you could!"

    Sweet. It would be great to see a car that was going to be significant or special to someone outside the club who didn't know what NVE was. That LE at NVE 1 with the Venzano interior was bloody perfect. Lucky Tony!!

    You learn fast. Now you just have to guess who is carrying at any given time, me or Emily.
