My name is Joel Wiggins, I run a very small R/C club in Northern Michigan. Our club is trying to raise money to buy the new AMBRC transponder system. We currently use a very old system that the MARS series used to use, tranponders are starting to go bad and we are down to our last 8 working transponders.

We are currently holding a raffle for a new high end R/C car or truck, I have a hobbyshop willing to sell it to us at cost. The vehicle will be your choice of a Factory team TC3,T4,B4,L4 or if available the new TC4, or a Team Losi XXXMF2,BK2,XXXSG+, or if available at the time of the drawing the new JRXS.

Tickets for the raffle are $10, there will be only 100 tickets sold, so your chances of winning are not to bad. If there is enough interest there will be a second raffle after this one. The drawing will be held at one of our club races as soon as 100 tickets are sold.

Here is how you can get entered, email me at jwiggins88@yahoo.com , I will send you my paypal adress(it is not my yahoo adress) and a ticket #, when you pay via paypal put the ticket # in there somewhere so I know who it is from. After payment is recieved I will e-mail you a pic of the ticket with your name on it if you would like me to.

We sold about 25 tickets at our trophy race we held last weekend, Hank has bought the first Hobbytalk ticket after I asked him if it was O.K. to do this.

I would like to thank Hank and Hobbytalk for helping us out and someone is going to win a sweet ride.

Thanks and I hope to recieve alot of e-mails soon.
Thanks, Joel

Sorry guys I forgot to mention, Postal money orders will also be accepted.

Please e-mail me and I'll send you my adress to mail them to.
Thanks, Joel

Alright guys, I got an e-mail last night from a guy thinking this was a scam.

In no way is this a scam, just a small club trying to better itself, if only half the people that have looked at the two posts I have going for this bought tickets someone would be winning a new vehicle this Sat. at our next club race.

What can I do to assure you this is not a scam? Hank, the guy that runs these boards, has even bought a ticket, got his paypal last night along with a dozen others.

Where else do you have the chance to win a new vehicle for $10.

Thank you to those that have responded, we really appreciate it.

Joel

Wigman is a top notch guy and I've known him for years. He is from the same area as Casey "promatchracer" which many of you know... I approved letting him post it so you don't have to worry!

16 tickets to go and we will be drawing for the vehicle, I would really like to do the drawing on Sat. the 18th so whoever wins will have an early present under the tree, everyone waiting till the last minute to buy a ticket, the last minute is here, I hope.

Thanks everyone, Joel

TICKETS ARE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

AS long as the people that have obligated themselves to tickets pay for them by Sat. the drawing will be held this Sat. at the E.U.P. R/C club race at the Big Bear Arena.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hank for letting us post this on these boards without him and all you guys at Hobbytalk we wouldn't be able to raise this kind of money to benefit our club like this.
I would like to thank Matt at Thunder Valley Hobbies who shows up at our track to race twice a month and brings along parts to sell, he drives 2 1/2 hours to get to our track and he is selling us the kit that someone is going to win at cost.
I would also like to thenk, Bullit Bill from Bullit Motorsports for his donations as well as John Norman from Speedway Motorsports and Hayes Reeling from Lefthander R/C for their donations.

Oh yeah, the reason we are able to draw this weekend is Hank himself, he bought the rest or our tickets and says if his name comes up to draw again.
So thanks Hank...........YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All winners will be posted either Sat. Night or Sunday Morning, Thank you all and good luck to all who bought tickets, Joel

Can't wait to hear the draw results Wigman. Congrats on the (hopefully) succesful fundraiser regardless of who the lucky drawees are.

YGM! :D

Will your old transponders be put up for sale? Thanks; Ernie P. :cool:

Sooner or later yes, our whole system will go up for sale, we still have some money to make before we can buy a new one though.

This Raffle got us a long way toward our goal, but those new systems are not cheap, $3000 at least.
I've been trying to find one used, I just missed out on a couple of systems on E-bay.
If anyone knows anybody getting rid of their AMBRC system please let me know.
Joel
