Beck builds those things in Upland, CA...as a matter of fact just about a mile or so down the street from where I used to live in Upland...I used to see him driving around in one of his Spyders all the time....SWBSAM..lives right close in Claremont, CA.

Did you purchase one?

Mine got lost in the mail or something, several PM's and it showed up at work. This is funny because I gave my home as the return address. Either way I have mine and just in time, just 3 or 4 days left to buy one.

I'm just guessing, but I bet you don't really need the ticket to win.

Yes, don't worry guys, you don't need your stub to win. We have a record of all payments. Just a few days to go in the raffle, I'll take paypal payments up to midnight on Friday.

Thanks guys!

Sorry, but my wife already has the route picked out to drive the car back. She is still mad at me for changing her pick-up out for a Subaru (though she loves the Scooby) and she has laid claim to the Beck 356.

Sorry guys... I broke down and and purchased a ticket. Since I have never won anything before, I figure I'm "due". Don't worry, I'll post many pictures and driving reports.

btw, how do I actually confirm I have a raffle #, since I came to the dance so late...

just bought a ticket. I'm feeling lucky!

Will you post the result here after the raffle? I will be anxious to see who won, I am sure.

Nothing wrong with the Subaru except that she can't hook up a horse trailer to it. She actually loves the Subaru and is complementary of how it drives, though she point out that it is no 911.

But she is looking forward to driving home her NEW Beck 356 next week!!!

AND THE WINNER IS!









Rodney Thornton of Portsmouth VA

As we didn't sell enough tickets to pay for the car, Rodney will get a cash prize from the PTO.


Thanks to everyone who donated to the school, its been quite an experience.

Sorry to hear that the raffle didn't meet it's target. But it was still fun to think about winning that car! Better luck with the next raffle (Beck Sypder? $100 per ticket?)

So the car wasn't even donated as a prize?

I'm sure everyone will be happy to have donated.
