I WANT IT!!!


VCA Raffle

Well, it's that time again! Your national officers, board of directors, and regional officers continue to strive to provide you with the greatest car club on the planet. That includes some pretty awesome raffles with some pretty incredible cars. Well, this time we decided to shake things up a bit and offer a totally different kind of Grand Prize. Ready?

We have decided to award the winner of the next VCA raffle dinner for two in beautiful Ann Arbor, Michigan! We will fly the winner and guest to Detroit where they will then arrange travel to Ann Arbor. Then they will have a wonderful dinner! Cool, eh?

Okay, I guess we can sweeten the pot a little. Joining you for dinner will be a gentleman that helped make the Viper possible, although he now works on the other side of town as the Vice Chairman of General Motors. That's right, you will get to spend some quality time with none other than Mr. Bob Lutz himself - truly a living automotive legend. You will even have the opportunity to visit his home and possibly see a few other cars he keeps nearby. Is that awesome or what?

Of course we could probably sell out a raffle with that alone: We know several folks that would gladly buy tickets to win a chance to spend time with Bob. It is a story you would be telling your friends and relatives for decades to come. But that's not all - oh no, not by any means: During your visit to Bob's house he will hand you the keys and title to his 1998 Viper GTS-R (GT2) built especially for him - the coveted #99 of 100 car. According to Bob, his GTS-R also has a little extra under the hood, courtesy of the folks that built it especially for him when he was the president of Chrysler. You will be the proud new owner of one of the most valuable Vipers ever made and get to take delivery from a true automotive legend.

So how about THAT for a raffle folks? The tickets aren't quite available yet as we are waiting for the license to be approved. Obviously we will let you know just as soon as you can buy them. We know a few folks that will undoubtedly pick up some extra tickets for this one in hopes of owning one of the most collectible Vipers out there - not to mention a delivery experience that you will never forget. We will also offer additional prizes as shown below. We hope you are as excited about this raffle as we are!

2009 VCA Raffle #2 - Tentative Drawing of October 31, 2009

Grand Prize - Airfare for two to Detroit, MI. Personal dinner with Bob Lutz in Ann Arbor as well as a visit to his home. There the winner will receive the keys and title to the #99 of 100 Viper GTS-R (GT2) originally built for Bob in 1998. Plenty of photo ops and a chance to spend time with a true automotive legend.

Second Prize - Set of four Michelin tires (non-race tires), generously donated once again by Michelin.

Third Prize - Optima Battery package including battery, collectible posters, and two tickets to any 2010 World Challenge race.

Rules/Notes: 2499 tickets will be available. The vehicle is used with approximately 7,000 miles as of this writing so there is no warranty expressed or implied. Airfare is up to $500 per person with two people maximum and has no cash value - it cannot be redeemed in lieu of air travel. Scheduling will be subject to the availability of Mr. Lutz, but a personal meet-and-greet is guaranteed. Michelin tire certificate must be redeemed no later than December 31st, 2009.

As always, thanks for the continued support of your Viper Club of America!

Chris

PS. A very special thanks to Maurice Liang who was instrumental in not only bringing up the idea, but also getting the conversation started with Bob. Who knows? Bob might even take the winner up in one of his planes...

he may be a bit perturbed at the request and may call the po-lice when you try and take his viper as its Bob Lutz's car that is being given away

I realise it's Bob's car that's being raffled, but I missread the section regarding being flown to the event, and then later on about Maurice Liang and then Bob's planes... Put two and two together came up with about 68 by the sound of things...

Wow. can you imagine having number 52 and #99 that would be just toooo much.

Guess I won't be buying a ticket for this one.

BTW Nigel and I gave our friend Don from the 'Bears' not a 21 gun salut today but a 20 cylinder salute, RIP Don.

Seemed odd following a hearse in old 52.

I'm sure it was a difficult day, I hope everything went as well as these things can Paul, Glad to hear that yourself and Nigel were able to give him what sounds like a fitting send off. All the best
Mate!
