    Make that at least 8- Mark and I are "runner ups" as well... must be that new math. But we also entered the contest before Brian Fox got back with me on building our chassis, so neither one of us will use it. If it is transferable, I'd gladly donate it to a HAMBer that wants to put it to good use.
     
  8. Better change that to 9+, I am one also. could have sworn it said one of five. Guess we aint so special after all. LOL

    If transferable I'll offer mine up. I'm applying for grad school at age 56 so I will be busy.

    Will do- they are supposed to send the details in the next week or so, and I'll ask about it then. If they'll allow me to pass it on, it's yours.

  13. Got my certificate today and it doesn't say it's not transferable, but then it doesn't say that it is. Mine is free to a good home if transferable.:)

    Well,thanks for nothing. It`s only good if I have another $2000 to spend,which I don`t.

    Pretty sure this was just a big promotional scam,because I`ve heard of atleast a dozen people so far that got these 1 of 5 prizes.

    So was this a scam? Yes? No?
     

  20. Not really as far as i can tell. Then again i don't know the going rate for a front engine dragster chassis. Being a "WINNER" it comes in at $1995.00 rather than $3995.00 list. Mine is on the way to lttle wing on the HAMB and hope he can use it. Shit i just wanted to buy a hat and shirt, don't they know i have 6 projects going on already?:D

    Hey guys, I got a runner up coupon too! As I wanted one anyway, it was all it took to get in line. I bought a used miller tig from a fellow H.A.M.B.er and I'm going to start practicing, as it's been a few years since I last used one. If you get something for nothing, take it! If you can't use it, sell it, trade it or give it away and then you're a hero! The world NEEDS more FED's!!!!! I'm happier than a pig in shit!

    So far I have heard of atleast 2 dozen people getting these 1 of 5 runner up prizes,and nobody getting anything else. Even if I could come up with an extra $2000 to spend on a bare chassis,I have to do it by the end of this month...which will never happen.

    Yes,just a big promo scam that also generated t-shirt/hat sales.


    Now if this is a yearly thing that they are going to do,and if they can only build a certain number of chassis` every year,why not just cut out all of the BS and just tell people right off the bat that your chassis kits start at $1995???

    Where can I return my t-shirt and hat to for a refund? I refuse to wear them.

    This is FAR from a scam.. we decided to give more winners the $2000.00 instead of the just 5 because of the economy and this is the thanks we get. We figured with money tight we would help stimulate the economy with extra FEDs going out and people got pissed !!!!!,,,for US GIVING SOMETHING to them..a gift,, well if you dont want it, fine, send it back, deney it ,,I am fine with that, but dont trash talk us for giving Christmas certificates to people to help them have a dream come true,,cant figure you guys out.....
