and the winner of the Lucky Star raffle is............

[hotrodladycrusr]

This morning, bright and early, a bunch of Michigan HAMB folks got together for breakie in the middle of the state. One of the items on the agenda was to draw for the Lucky Star raffle.

After breakfast we all headed over to a local area hot rod shop that we hang out in just to check out what was new. While there we asked the owner, who's name is Frank, to draw the winning envelope. He closed his eyes and dug down deep and pulled out our very own.........................

Fuel Pump!

Congrats Rich!

Congrats Fuel Pump! You take bribes....right? That thing needs to be on the west coast!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Let me dig through my shit here....

Travis

[Donzie]

Ok, I just want to clear the air, in case you think this may have been "fixed", since one of the people there won it. I can assure you, it was all on the up and up. Frank is a really honest guy and wouldn't accept any kind of bribe.....I know, I tried! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[fab32]

Donzie, Just because your attempt was unsucessful doesn't mean Fuelpump's wasn't. I swear I saw him and Denise in a huddle just before the drawing. I'm not accusing anyone of any mischief, just an observation.
So just between you and me Rich, How much did it cost you?

Frank

[jdubbya]

I was there, it was legit...I swear!

I think Rocky (oops! michigan gaming commission) is right. If you look real close in the back left hand side of that picture, I am sure I see a "Hanging Chad". Definetily cause for a recall and new ballot count.

Congrat's, glad to see it going to a champion. Will look great. Congrats again to Whizzer for the generous gift, and also to Dennise for her organising skills.

Cheers,

Drewfus

[blueskies]

Congrats Fuelpump.

Curious how much the raffle raised for the HAMB?

Pete

[Ryan]

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate the effort, consideration, and just the udder disregard for yourselves. It means a lot.

A special thanks to not only whizzerick and his amazing talent for all things design and functional, but also to Denise for once again dealing with the masses and my crazy unorganized ass.

As for the money... The HAMB is actually doing quite well - all bills are paid and this is March!!! Unbelievable feeling for me to be able to do this with zero cash outlay so far this year.

So, with that in mind what in the hell are we going to do with the Lucky Star money? HAMB improvements. We are going to spend the dough to upgrade to UBB Threads 6.4 and we are gonna do some more custom mods to make this place easier to use and easier to get around in... We can all thank Whizz and Denise for whats coming...

Not my place to say, but lets just put it this way, lots of $5's, $10's, $20's, and even a very generous $40 in one envelope!

YOU FOLKS ROCK!



Ryan, you are quite welcome. It is my honor and privilege to do what I can to help out around here.
