[mopardart72] 8:05 pm: my story
[eaglesguy1981j] 8:05 pm: Hello Lenna
[cosgig] 8:06 pm: DD72 might as well refresh us here!!

[CudaChick1968] 8:06 pm: I'll brb
[DusterDude72] 8:06 pm: ok just a moment and ill copy and past some stuff
[mopardart72] 8:07 pm: :kiss:good enuf kiss *** yet?
[mopardart72] 8:07 pm: :grin:
[DusterDude72] 8:07 pm: possibly it could be split into category's? such as....say some people need interior parts,some need mechanical parts,some need exterior parts,some need tools.....you could set the category's into there own prize drawings....such as 3 winners per category, 1st place,2nd place and 3rd place for interior,and so on.
...
...rather than 3 or so winners fighting for all the prizes........have the potential winners inform you of if they need interior or exterior or mechanical parts or tools more and let them
[DusterDude72] 8:07 pm: there ya have it
[mopardart72] 8:08 pm: i like that idea
[mopardart72] 8:08 pm: whet if i need say exterior and mechanical
[mopardart72] 8:08 pm: i mean interior
[mopardart72] 8:08 pm: wil i be able to put my name into both
[DusterDude72] 8:08 pm: hmmmm
[DusterDude72] 8:09 pm: thats what this chat is for lol
[cosgig] 8:09 pm: is there a list of prizes to choose from? and is this going to be an ongoing contest?
[tobysoldblue] 8:09 pm: jack,did you see my new rims i got for christmas?
[pettybludart] 8:09 pm: Bruce,you with us?:zzz:
[DusterDude72] 8:09 pm: I think leanna is yet to update the list to current
[Coyote Jack] 8:09 pm: Yes, they will look real good on the Dart
[DusterDude72] 8:10 pm: but yes there is a list
[tobysoldblue] 8:10 pm: i hope so,deciding tires sizes now
[mopardart72] 8:10 pm: 245s!
[DusterDude72] 8:10 pm: and i think leanna mentioned making it an annual contest
[Coyote Jack] 8:10 pm: What is the back spacing on the rears
[tobysoldblue] 8:10 pm: 4.5
[Coyote Jack] 8:11 pm: How wide are they
[tobysoldblue] 8:11 pm: 8
[pettybludart] 8:11 pm: has anybody heard from SCRedneck(Doug)??
[CudaChick1968] 8:11 pm: ok I'm back. Sorry, had to put the seats back in my car. :-D
[cosgig] 8:11 pm: I'd like to think that there could be more than one winner a month if its going to be monthly, and the winners could be drawn one at a time and the first in line get to choose what they want and so forth down the line
[tobysoldblue] 8:11 pm: i was thinking 275/60/15
[CudaChick1968] 8:11 pm: lemme catch up lol
[mopardart72] 8:11 pm: oh cuda your addicted top that cudsa
[The Mopar Lounge]: BigStrok3 has entered at 8:12 pm
[avarageerod] 8:12 pm: 275/50/15 fit nice on my car
[DusterDude72] 8:12 pm: I think depending on the amount of prizes and amount of entrys that it will decide how many category's a young gun can enter....but I do not know the best route to take which is why we are here to talk things over lol
[tobysoldblue] 8:12 pm: at least a 255
[BigStrok3] 8:12 pm: sup sup
[Coyote Jack] 8:12 pm: even with the stretched quarters, 275's might be to big.
[tobysoldblue] 8:12 pm: i jacked the wheel wells open 1.5 inche wider than stock
[pettybludart] 8:12 pm: hey bigstrok3
[tobysoldblue] 8:12 pm: and can go more
[Coyote Jack] 8:13 pm: Hey Big
[BigStrok3] 8:13 pm: Havent been in here for a while lol
[tobysoldblue] 8:13 pm: i just need to get the rear end under it,so i can trial fit the rims
[CudaChick1968] 8:13 pm: Hi Big ... and congrats on the new rims Toby :-D
[cosgig] 8:13 pm: IMO, the catagory idea could get confusing to keep track of
[memike] 8:14 pm: How many young guns did we end up with?
[avarageerod] 8:14 pm: i'm already confused
[Coyote Jack] 8:14 pm: That's the best way toby.
[tobysoldblue] 8:14 pm: thanks,leanna
[mopardart72] 8:14 pm: i wasnt able to type my story
[DusterDude72] 8:14 pm: Im thinking the points system is a good way to go as bamacuda mentioned in the thread...I also think it should be devided into category's of interior,exterior,mechanical and tools and things like that......and I think with as many young guns signed up and as many prizes have been donated that there could be multiple prize winners for each categorys......1st place getting the most points awarded,2nd the 2nd most amount and so on.....just my thoughts
[CudaChick1968] 8:14 pm: Right now, there are 41 confirmed entries. I went thru the emails last night and eliminated 4 duplicates
[BigStrok3] 8:14 pm: wow thats alot
[memike] 8:14 pm: Wow
[mopardart72] 8:15 pm: cuda i wasnt able to put in mine
[DusterDude72] 8:15 pm: yeah lol
[BigStrok3] 8:15 pm: didnt know there were that many
[The Mopar Lounge]: eaglesguy1981j has left at 8:15 pm
[mopardart72] 8:15 pm: i still like to talk to you guys =)
[tobysoldblue] 8:15 pm: how about an old guys contest,lol
[Coyote Jack] 8:15 pm: Better kiss more AZZ mopardart72
[DusterDude72] 8:15 pm: and around that many prizes or more also right leanna? I lost track awhile back lol
[mopardart72] 8:15 pm: ima tryin
[avarageerod] 8:15 pm: ha
[BigStrok3] 8:15 pm: lmao
[cosgig] 8:15 pm: how would the entrants enter a catagory? or multiple catagories?
[mopardart72] 8:15 pm: leanna did i ever tell you how beautiful you are
[CudaChick1968] 8:15 pm: The problem with the category thing is that we don't really have interior parts donated ... or exterior parts. There's a running and a non-running motor, some suspension stuff ...
[CudaChick1968] 8:15 pm: LMAO MD72
[BigStrok3] 8:16 pm: What are the categories?
[avarageerod] 8:16 pm: just enter the contest 4 more times
[CudaChick1968] 8:16 pm: you're a silver tongued devil. You must be sitting by Jack :-D
[tobysoldblue] 8:16 pm: how about custom door panels?
[mopardart72] 8:16 pm: that wopn me some points right
[mopardart72] 8:16 pm: I WANT SOME!
[tobysoldblue] 8:16 pm: but im not up todate on whats going on,lol
[mopardart72] 8:16 pm: toby have i ever told you how awesome you are
[cosgig] 8:16 pm: Leanna said she deleted 4 duplicates, that could get overwhelming
[DusterDude72] 8:17 pm: you could split the donations up into the categorys they belong in.....the contestants then email leanna or post up on the thread which category they would like to enter to have a chance at winning based on which type of parts they need...those who do not make contact to update leanna on the category they would like to enter could be entered into a random category by default
[BigStrok3] 8:17 pm: What if my car really dont need any parts?
[Coyote Jack] 8:17 pm: mopardart72, you should have seen the avatar that Leanna used to have. You would be in love!
[cosgig] 8:17 pm: just a second, I gotta go get my boots, it's getting pretty deep in here LOL
[memike] 8:18 pm: I agree
[avarageerod] 8:18 pm: peoples eyes turning brown?
[mopardart72] 8:18 pm: what was it
[BigStrok3] 8:18 pm: lol I have brown eyes
[mopardart72] 8:18 pm: was it her in a bakini
[CudaChick1968] 8:18 pm: me too ... means the BS is full all the way to the top
[pettybludart] 8:19 pm: pic of Leanna not for young guys eyes LOL
[Coyote Jack] 8:19 pm: I'm an old guy, not in the contest. LOL
[DusterDude72] 8:19 pm: if you do not need parts....I believe there have been donations from leanna for powder coating...t-shirt donations,model car donations,autoparts store donations and things of that nature
[cosgig] 8:19 pm: focus danielson, focus!!!
[CudaChick1968] 8:19 pm: the last Prize Package update saved on my computer contains 23 prizes, but there have been a couple additions since then.
[mopardart72] 8:19 pm: hey cudachik could i possibly see that avatar
[BigStrok3] 8:19 pm: Thanks for the info duster dude. Cause my car is mostly done other than a few minor things.
[DusterDude72] 8:19 pm: ok so roughly have the amount of prizes as there is young gunz
[memike] 8:19 pm: Already there, I came here to learn what to do and I am here when yall need me
[CudaChick1968] 8:20 pm: yeah MD72 later lol -- down boy let's focus
[BigStrok3] 8:20 pm: lol^
[Coyote Jack] 8:20 pm: The pic was of a head and shoulder portrait of Leanna. Get your minds out of the gutter.
[BigStrok3] 8:20 pm: perverts
[CudaChick1968] 8:21 pm: lemme find my last post where the Prize Package was updated ... then everybody can have it in front of them
[pettybludart] 8:21 pm: he,s trying to focus on your Avatar Leanna(older one)
[The Mopar Lounge]: mopardart72 has left at 8:21 pm
[The Mopar Lounge]: mopardart72 has entered at 8:21 pm
[DusterDude72] 8:21 pm: ok well if we are unsure on the category thing...can we atleast all agree on a points system to purchase prizes with your winnings (points) rather than being awarded a prize you do not need? or do you have something else in mind?
[mopardart72] 8:21 pm: was it her naked?!
[DusterDude72] 8:21 pm: dang MD72 lol settle down
[avarageerod] 8:22 pm: do you need a rag to wipe you nose?
[Coyote Jack] 8:22 pm: Get out of the gutter!!!!!
[cosgig] 8:22 pm: DD72, explain how an entrant would get points please
[The Mopar Lounge]: DRENO has entered at 8:22 pm
[Coyote Jack] 8:22 pm: Hey DRENO
[DRENO] 8:22 pm: Hey Jack
[memike] 8:22 pm: Put all the young guns in a bowl and pull a name out one at a time, I will be glad to do that and then the first one gets to pick first . Maybe I don't know !!
[mopardart72] 8:22 pm: down to business play later
[DusterDude72] 8:23 pm: based upon what place they take in the contest....say 1st place awards 10,000 ponts and second place 7,000 points and say a donated carburetor is up for grabs for 4500 points or something in rough round about terms
[pettybludart] 8:23 pm: hey Dreno
[mopardart72] 8:23 pm: can i ask a question
[DRENO] 8:23 pm: hey petty
[cosgig] 8:23 pm: thats what I was thinking Mike, that way the winner could at least pick from the available prizes instead of being given something that may not want
[DRENO] 8:23 pm: Just here to kinda listen
[memike] 8:23 pm: DRENO I wish I had a beer, I am reading to good
[DRENO] 8:24 pm: Haha
[Coyote Jack] 8:24 pm: :beer:
[DusterDude72] 8:24 pm: well the problem with that is....on the thread some people have expressed that they may get a prize they do not have any use for which is where the idea of choosing your prize came into play
[avarageerod] 8:24 pm: i think i'm going to have that drink now
[memike] 8:24 pm: Thank you cosgig it;s something to think about
[Coyote Jack] 8:24 pm: LOL
[DRENO] 8:25 pm: Are we tryin figure out how to give out the prizes?
[CudaChick1968] 8:25 pm: geez FINALLY!!! My computer is so slow tonight. Here's the latest list, but there's been a couple other things offered. Truly Vintage offers transportation of parts/cars, and there's another $20 Gift Certificate from O'Reillys .....
http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showpost.php?p=730902&postcount=110
[DusterDude72] 8:26 pm: I am unsure about how the hole thing will work out....I am sure that we need to help leanna figure it out because she is a heck of a person for putting the hole thing on and if there is space for us to help out then I will be glad to take part
[memike] 8:26 pm: yes and pick where they go and how to pick DRENO
[cosgig] 8:26 pm: DD72, I'm trying to get a handle on the points idea. How would a contestant get 1st place and so on, will their story be voted on by the FABO community?
[mopardart72] 8:26 pm: its a random
[BigStrok3] 8:27 pm: I think the name in the hat thing would be the most fair
[DusterDude72] 8:27 pm: randomly picked I think is how there being chosen
[DRENO] 8:27 pm: do we need a panel to judge the entries?
[cosgig] 8:27 pm: if it's a random pick, how would a contestant gain more points then?
[DusterDude72] 8:27 pm: I am just trying to figure out how the winners are awarded and what they get and how many winners they are....I am pretty sure the way the winners are picked has already been set in stone
[tobysoldblue] 8:27 pm: well folks,i got to hit the sack,work comes early,and ill have to work late tomarrow night
[CudaChick1968] 8:28 pm: Yes, it's most fair if it's random. There's a LOT of really great stories, and I never ever wanted to be in the position of having to choose the best STORY based on merit.
[DusterDude72] 8:28 pm: depending on if there was 1 winner or 2 or 3 or whatever....each "place" would be chosen at random
[toolmanmike] 8:28 pm: Keep it simple. Random is fair
[mopardart72] 8:28 pm: what if i didnt post a story
[BigStrok3] 8:28 pm: I say picking the names out of a hat.
[CudaChick1968] 8:28 pm: Thanks for stopping by Toby. Hugs to your girl
[mopardart72] 8:28 pm: because its a bit personal
[Coyote Jack] 8:28 pm: Nice prize's Leanna
[pettybludart] 8:28 pm: WoW,nice prizes
[tobysoldblue] 8:28 pm: thanks,leanna
[The Mopar Lounge]: tobysoldblue has left at 8:28 pm
[DRENO] 8:29 pm: I'm sure some of the young guns put there hearts into this,seems a shame to do random picks
[CudaChick1968] 8:29 pm: Yes, people have been VERY generous on this project
[mopardart72] 8:29 pm: well see when i think on about it i kinda brings tears to my eyes because i got ripped away from my dad
[DusterDude72] 8:29 pm: dreno.....true but as said....to be fair,random is probably best
[DRENO] 8:29 pm: unless we appoint a panel....
[DRENO] 8:30 pm: odd nemberes amount
[memike] 8:30 pm: yes
[cosgig] 8:30 pm: I agree that the choices should be random, I just don't get how points would be awarded then
[DRENO] 8:30 pm: numbered
[CudaChick1968] 8:30 pm: What I'm most inclined to do is draw one name out of the jar from the qualified entries, and then draw a prize from the jar.
[avarageerod] 8:30 pm: how would it be fair to chose on who had the better story?
[toolmanmike] 8:30 pm: It's tough. the underdog probably needs prizes more
[The Mopar Lounge]: Darwin has entered at 8:30 pm
[DusterDude72] 8:30 pm: leanna....what about the rest of the prizes and the rest of the entress?
[CudaChick1968] 8:30 pm: Hi Darwin
[DusterDude72] 8:30 pm: or keep drawing untill all prizes are gone?
[Coyote Jack] 8:30 pm: Time to bail out. Later folks
[avarageerod] 8:31 pm: nn
[pettybludart] 8:31 pm: later Jack
[CudaChick1968] 8:31 pm: Oh, there's definitely going to be more than one contest. I never expected this kind of response. Most likely monthly
[DRENO] 8:31 pm: how many entries are there?
[CudaChick1968] 8:31 pm: Good night Jack ... nice to see ya :-D
[CudaChick1968] 8:31 pm: We have 41 so far Dave
[DRENO] 8:31 pm: wow
[memike] 8:31 pm: They are all good stories and I for one can not judge who is a better story teller or a better person
[Coyote Jack] 8:31 pm: Later and always good to talk to you Leanna
[CudaChick1968] 8:31 pm: And I think 25 or 26 prizes right now
[The Mopar Lounge]: Coyote Jack has left at 8:32 pm
[DusterDude72] 8:32 pm: it would be hard to judge based off of the best story.....not to be rude,but alot of people may have had sob storys and maybe have a full bank account.....where as some people may not have put alot of time into there story and could really use certain prizes due to lack of funds
[DRENO] 8:32 pm: true mike,would be a tuff decision
[avarageerod] 8:32 pm: thats what i meant mike, it wouldn't be fair to chose on the sadest story
[BigStrok3] 8:32 pm: Im out also im sure you will figure out how to do this. Later guys and girls.
[The Mopar Lounge]: BigStrok3 has left at 8:32 pm
[DRENO] 8:32 pm: geez dude I wish i could type like you,lol
[DusterDude72] 8:33 pm: lol
[CudaChick1968] 8:33 pm: No, it was never intended to be a sob story contest either where the winner wins because he pulled the heart strings the hardest.
[CudaChick1968] 8:33 pm: See ya Big -- thanx for coming
[DusterDude72] 8:33 pm: thats what I mean leanna, I agree
[mopardart72->CudaChick1968] 8:33 pm: can i jsut have my name out in? i mean if not it's ok but id rather not tell the story
[DRENO] 8:34 pm: I have not read all the enties
[cosgig] 8:34 pm: I agree that the winners should be chosen out of a hat, and I see it like sort of a door prize theme that I have seen at many a golf outing. all of the prizes are laid out, a contestant gets drawn and they go up and pick their prize, and so on down the line until all of the prizes are gone. If it's going to be more than a one time event, pick a set number of winners each drawing and reserve the rest of the prizes that were not picked for the next drawing
[mopardart72->CudaChick1968] 8:34 pm: but i see if yojh say no because everyone else had to
[DRENO] 8:34 pm: are they in a thread?
[mopardart72->CudaChick1968] 8:34 pm: i cant be made an exception
[DusterDude72] 8:34 pm: my story maybe have been a little soft hearted but was just thta.....from the heart.....I could really use parts but I am sure in all honesty that there is someone who posted a story that is more deserving than myself
[DRENO] 8:35 pm: pause.
[avarageerod] 8:35 pm: ya'll have fun with this, i'm out
[CudaChick1968] 8:35 pm: they aren't going to win because they're deemed "more deserving." Everybody needs an equal shot at winning
[DusterDude72] 8:35 pm: I understand and I agree
[avarageerod] 8:35 pm: i don't have a horse in this contest
[DusterDude72] 8:35 pm: I was using it as an example
[CudaChick1968] 8:35 pm: Good night Avarage ... thanx for stopping in
[avarageerod] 8:35 pm: i'm off like a prom dress, nn
[DRENO] 8:35 pm: if everybody deserves a chance then a random draw is the answer
[DusterDude72] 8:36 pm: agreed
[The Mopar Lounge]: avarageerod has left at 8:36 pm
[DRENO] 8:36 pm: how many draws?
[pettybludart] 8:36 pm: Yes,random draw is best
[DusterDude72] 8:36 pm: I was really hoping that more of the young gunz would have showed up for this
[CudaChick1968] 8:36 pm: Yes!!! What we should decide is how often the drawing happens, how many prizes each winner gets, and how long the contest will go on. Most that said anything want it to be monthly
[mopardart72] 8:37 pm: im here duster
[DusterDude72] 8:37 pm: I see this and thanks for showing up!
[CudaChick1968] 8:37 pm: DD72, personally I was hoping more people who donated would've shown up. With all due respect, you guys have something to gain and aren't exactly impartial :-D
[DRENO] 8:37 pm: can you count on continuous donations?
[DRENO] 8:37 pm: how long can it go?
[DusterDude72] 8:38 pm: well if we want to figure out how many prizes and how many winners and how often this gets done.....we need to set cut off points for entrees and what not dont we?
[The Mopar Lounge]: flmopars has left at 8:38 pm
[memike] 8:38 pm: I Know leanna, It's for the young guns that we want to keep going ain't it, Random and if I can help just call
[CudaChick1968] 8:38 pm: Well Dave, it's been going for over 3 months and there have been donations made the entire time. A couple have offered future prizes too, like 65BCODA -- offered $20/month for however long it goes for a Summit Gift Cert
[cosgig] 8:38 pm: OK so I say 3 winners a month, every month until all of the prizes are gone. No additional prizes until the original batch is gone or something like that. Every winner gets to pick one prize
[The Mopar Lounge]: flmopars has left at 8:38 pm
[memike] 8:38 pm: How old are you DusterDude72
[The Mopar Lounge]: flmopars has entered at 8:38 pm
[The Mopar Lounge]: flmopars has entered at 8:38 pm
[DRENO] 8:39 pm: That's good but my fear is that the donations will die off
[CudaChick1968] 8:39 pm: It's possible
[DusterDude72] 8:39 pm: true leanna....but isnt it going to be that once a young gun enters one contest that thay are not aloud to enter a future young gunz contest.....so not only would the young gunz be helping to set things up for our contest but for future winners aswell...but yes I agree more of the "elders" should have shown up also lol
[DusterDude72] 8:39 pm: 23
[The Mopar Lounge]: Darwin has left at 8:39 pm
[DRENO] 8:39 pm: the donations ,like most things ,come from the core members
[cosgig] 8:40 pm: With 23 prizes its gonna take 8 months at 3 winners a month. thats a long time for a contest to run and a lot of work for Leanna to do for that long of a period of time
[mopardart72] 8:40 pm: how many of us are here that are young?
[memike->CudaChick1968] 8:41 pm: What was the age again hun
[The Mopar Lounge]: 65 Dartman has entered at 8:41 pm
[CudaChick1968] 8:41 pm: I think everybody who has already entered should be allowed to win until their name has been drawn ... the only "cutoff" I imposed was on newer FABO members. Didn't want them joining just to enter the contest and then never participate in FABO
[CudaChick1968->memike] 8:41 pm: 25 and under
[DusterDude72] 8:41 pm: thats why I had suggested making it a yearly thing.....giving a hole year to replenish donations, to gather new young guns and to give leanna a break lol
[DRENO] 8:41 pm: don't know if you can avoid that Leanna
[CudaChick1968] 8:41 pm: Hi Don! Long time no see :-D
[cosgig] 8:42 pm: maybe have it a 3 month prize distribution schedule and make it an annaul contest or something like that
[memike->CudaChick1968] 8:42 pm: I see, I think us elders should find a meeting place and keep the young guns out
[65 Dartman] 8:42 pm: Hey Leaanna just dropped in to listen
[cosgig] 8:42 pm: oops, wheres my spellcheck, I meant annual
[CudaChick1968] 8:42 pm: True Dave, but a lot of the suggestions are making things a lot harder / more work than it needs to be. Keeping track of what the kids want / need would almost require its own database
[CudaChick1968] 8:43 pm: at least ya didn't say anal Geoff lol
[DusterDude72] 8:43 pm: I personally think,the winners should be picked at random.....have enough winners for 1 or 2 prizes a piece.....those who did not win could re enter....then make it a yearly or every 6y month contest to give new young guns a chance to join and to get more donations. just my 2 cents
[cosgig] 8:43 pm: close, I was thinking that though!!!LOL
[CudaChick1968->memike] 8:43 pm: Yeahhhhh c'mon over. We can hang out in the basement
[DRENO] 8:43 pm: Well I say give all the prizesaway in one shot and have another one next year
[memike->CudaChick1968] 8:44 pm: sounds good sister
[cosgig] 8:44 pm: Thats not a bad idea DRENO
[DusterDude72] 8:44 pm: I think the same
[DRENO] 8:44 pm: we can't put all this work on Leanna
[DRENO] 8:44 pm: she's done enuff
[CudaChick1968] 8:44 pm: Dave, that was my original plan. Until the prizes started coming in, in duplicate (i.e., 2 motors) and transportation for whatever needs transported
[toolmanmike] 8:45 pm: Same here Leanna needs a break.
[DRENO] 8:45 pm: it's not hard to give it away tho,dups or not
[DusterDude72] 8:45 pm: hats of to her because I would have been overwhelmed long ago lol
[CudaChick1968] 8:45 pm: I have a set of Mickey Thompson valve covers in the basement ... the donatee sent them here
[DRENO] 8:45 pm: here here dude
[CudaChick1968] 8:45 pm: Sheeeeeeeeeet, I run a business. This is EASY lol
[memike] 8:46 pm: M/T= Mike /Treva hehe
[mopardart72] 8:46 pm: lol
[CudaChick1968] 8:46 pm: hahaha
[cosgig] 8:46 pm: who is responsible for sending the prizes, like the motors?? I hope it's in the hands of the person who donated them
[DRENO] 8:46 pm: we want your hair to stay red ,lol
[DusterDude72] 8:46 pm: I will donate a couple hotwheels...not much but better than nothing...I have a 71 demon,green with black stripes in packaging and a 71 drop top cuda blue with white hemi side stripe,white top and white interior collectors edition still in packaging
[CudaChick1968] 8:46 pm: Geoff, I'm sure 65 Dartman feels the same way. He donated one of em lol
[65 Dartman] 8:47 pm: On the motor and transmission I'm donating, it's the responsibility of the winner to either pick it up in person or make arrangements to have it shipped
[CudaChick1968] 8:47 pm: TrulyVintage, one of our new guys, has his own transport company. His donation just a couple days ago is sending whatever needs sent wherever it needs to go ... I haven't assigned it a Prize Number yet
[DRENO] 8:47 pm: fair enuff dartman
[mopardart72] 8:47 pm: what size is it
[CudaChick1968] 8:47 pm: 318/727
[65 Dartman] 8:48 pm: The LCAs I'm donating still have to be sent to Leanna for powder coating
[memike] 8:48 pm: I just got to ask if you can say hello to nella for me Geof
[DusterDude72] 8:48 pm: did you catch ,my last message leanna?
[mopardart72] 8:48 pm: ooh nice tranny
[CudaChick1968] 8:48 pm: Dreno, sorry ... here's a link to the last Prize List but there's a couple items that haven't made it on there yet.

[pettybludart] 8:48 pm: hey Leanna,I have some M/T valve covers.Whats best for removing paint?I want plain look/clear
[mopardart72] 8:49 pm: her best explanation is probably send them to her
[CudaChick1968] 8:49 pm: DD72, can you post that on the Help CudaChick thread or send me a PM? I'm kinda overwhelmed at the moment
[CudaChick1968] 8:49 pm: thanks
[mopardart72] 8:49 pm: lol
[DusterDude72] 8:49 pm: lol ok
[65 Dartman] 8:49 pm: For Dreno and others - it's a nice running 318 with 727 I pulled out of the 80 Doba I parted out. It does have a Theromoquad intake with square bore adapter on it
[CudaChick1968] 8:49 pm: Scott ... blast em
[DusterDude72] 8:49 pm: ok so have we settled on any solid ideas lol?
[DRENO] 8:50 pm: no,don't shoot!!
[mopardart72] 8:50 pm: just my Honest opinion do a random until everythigns gone
[DusterDude72] 8:50 pm: I think we all agree it should be decided randomly who wins...I got that
[DRENO] 8:50 pm: j/k
[mopardart72] 8:50 pm: then save up fer 6 months or so for the next
[DusterDude72] 8:50 pm: from there....its still up in the air im thinking
[DRENO] 8:50 pm: 6 months to a year between
[DusterDude72] 8:51 pm: I think the same, 6 months to a year in between drawings
[cosgig] 8:51 pm: OK so lets try to get some concrete poured here. Lets start with picking the winners, and how many at a time. Are they all gonna be chosen at once?
[DRENO] 8:51 pm: poeple who r giving may now want to put in again in 6 months
[mopardart72] 8:51 pm: but get rid of all prizes in the first one gives more people a shot
[DusterDude72] 8:51 pm: only thing to figure out is how many people and how many prizes are awarded at the time of drawing
[mopardart72] 8:51 pm: one prize per person
[mopardart72] 8:52 pm: its like a gift exchange
[DRENO] 8:52 pm: that wil cover 1/2 the
[mopardart72] 8:52 pm: pull a name outa the hat
[CudaChick1968] 8:52 pm: LOL the secret FABO Santa
[mopardart72] 8:52 pm: havem pickj ta.ke the name out
[DRENO] 8:52 pm: yep,sounds rite
[DusterDude72] 8:52 pm: I too think that everyone should get something...problem with that is, theres not enough to go around....so there would only be like half the winners who are awarded
[toolmanmike] 8:52 pm: As with any contest with prizes, it's the fact of winning and not wether the prize is of value to the winner. As Leanna said, keeping track of what prizes are available and who wants what is too confusing. The winners could allways swap prizes with other winners.
[mopardart72] 8:52 pm: thats what makes it competitive though
[DRENO] 8:52 pm: random gun.,random prize
[cosgig] 8:53 pm: I vote for drawing names at random, letting the first in line pick their prize and so on down the line until all of the prizes are gone, and making it an annual contest
[CudaChick1968] 8:53 pm: And that's not bad, considering how one person was going to win everything on the list at the beginning of the contest
[mopardart72] 8:53 pm: lol
[DusterDude72] 8:53 pm: true lol
[DRENO] 8:53 pm: i like it cosgig
[CudaChick1968] 8:53 pm: Geoff, how long would you want the contest to run in that case?
[65 Dartman] 8:53 pm: Leanna - how many entries do you have?
[mopardart72] 8:53 pm: all in fAVOR!
[mopardart72] 8:54 pm: i
[DRENO] 8:54 pm: aye
[CudaChick1968] 8:54 pm: I have 41 confirmed entries right now
[mopardart72] 8:54 pm: there cuda proble solved
[65 Dartman] 8:54 pm: and how many prizes?
[DRENO] 8:54 pm: i
[DRENO] 8:54 pm: I
[DRENO] 8:54 pm: II
[memike] 8:54 pm: I
[CudaChick1968] 8:54 pm: 25 or 26 I think -- need to update it (meant to do that today -- sorry!)
[mopardart72] 8:54 pm: i did your job cuda lol
[cosgig] 8:55 pm: It should take about 3 days for picking 23 winners, having them message back with their pick and arranging the distribution of their prize. In a perfect world that is
[DusterDude72] 8:55 pm: how about this.....20 random winners, 20 random prizes....or a prize matched to each winner so 23 or 24 or however many there is......then 6 months from now gathher up more donations,more young gunz as well as the remaining young guns who did not win and let them give it a go.......those who are un happy with what they won can start a fabo thread such as for example (youngguns exchange) they can then hash it over with each other and swap and trade for what they need
[DusterDude72] 8:55 pm: ?
[DRENO] 8:55 pm: notify them by pm asnd post in a thread later
[mopardart72] 8:55 pm: how can you be unhappy
[mopardart72] 8:55 pm: its a free thing
[mopardart72] 8:56 pm: but i culd see where if i won a motor n trans i wouldnt need it because i already have a rac built 318 n trans
[DRENO] 8:56 pm: pink Mike?
[mopardart72] 8:56 pm: race
[memike] 8:56 pm: How about the elders talk about this , everyone that is an elder jump on in
[CudaChick1968] 8:56 pm: So choose all the winners at once, let them pick what they want (1 or 2 prizes), and then try to do it again next year?
[mopardart72] 8:57 pm: memike can i be an elder
[memike] 8:57 pm: Are you one ?
[DRENO] 8:57 pm: I like it Leanna
[DRENO] 8:57 pm: what ya said
[mopardart72] 8:57 pm: i say that way cuda
[pettybludart] 8:57 pm: I,m for Cosgig,s idea
