2008 4L80e Prime Gears Trans raffle

DONATING MEMBER
This year at Homecoming, I will be donating a 4x4 4L80e. It will have all mods, Transgo Hd2(latest version), BW High Energy clutches everywhere but the 4th and overrun packs. Those will be Raybestos blues. It will have a billet hub, input shaft and special 2nd gear arrangement. With the billet hub, input shaft and custom 2nd gear setup, you'll be looking at a trans alone worth in excess of $5700.
You will have to have a special input shaft for the transfer case and a Prime Gears syty 4L80e install kit to use this in a syty. This is a big HP arrangement. This will be able to be used in a full size as a replacement or a syty as the indestructable upgrade.
So whether you have a syty or a 4x4 fullsize that's boosted with nitrous, this is for you.
As said before this IS being donated to the Homecoming committe AND...................
THE TRANSMISSION WILL BE PRESENT AND YOU STICK IT IN YOUR VEHICLE AND DRIVE AWAY WITH IT. You just have to sign a form showing receipt of the trans.
One other "gotcha".....YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN THIS TRANSMISSION. This is the LAST transmission I will be donating for ANY event and I wanted it to be a good one.
The Homecoming committee representatives will give cost of raffle tickets. This will not be a door prize. You will HAVE to purchase tickets to be elegible to be in the drawing to win this transmission.
Why am I doing this? I want your butts THERE. This hobby NEEDS your support. Bring your family. I was there last year and it was the best meet/show I'd ever been to.

I will also be doing a tech session on 80e teardown and buildup and what to look for and special tips to make it easier. Once you see the inside of an 80e there will be no doubt it is the answer for the big HP guys and those that just want to never worry about it again.

Good luck!
See you there,
George

PS: Yes, this is real. Yes it's a $5700 transmission. Yes it will be there and on display for you to see.
Here's a pic of the trans.

Re: 2008 Trans raffle

Your welcome. Wouldn't it be nice to see another vendor bring on like maybe an ENGINE or complete TURBO setup with hedders or something??? Not some spark plugs....just a thought. Please make this a sticky.

Oh, and I don't give a crap if any magazines are there are not. This is for you guys and OUR hobby. NOT THEM. Don't let the recent display of the lack of GMHTP interest affect your support of yourselves.

This trans isn't just for the syty guys. ANYONE that needs a heavily modified 4x4 4L80e needs to get their tails there and get some tickets.

Remember, that the Nationals are in a state of reorganization so this will be THE big event this year. Please try to get there to show your support so this continues to exist.

Re: 2008 Trans raffle

Wow. First of all let me applaud your generosity for putting up the trans! But let me also offer a word of consideration for the Homecoming event/raffle organizers. At past events with lesser prizes, we're all familiar with the approach by a few individuals to buy up all available raffle tickets early in order to virtually guarantee a win. I recommend you consider an additional contest rule to ensure a more equitable chance for all participants - perhaps a purchase limit of 25 tickets per individual or per day. There's very little risk of not 'selling out' all the tickets - if sales are slow on the first day then the purchase limits could be increased on day 2 - once everyone has had a chance to participate.

I realize that no scheme is foolproof, but I do believe additional steps can be taken to help ensure that the contest remains a contest as intended. :2cents:

Remember that this is to help raise money for the Homecoming event. Putting any restriction on how many tickets can be sold defeats the purpose of the "donation". Just keep that in mind. I'm sure they'll come up with something. Still would be nice to see someone else do something big for the event.....also remember, you have to there. No mail in stuff. If you buy a ticket and leave, we will draw again until we have the person standing there to take it.

I hope Renz doesn't win this one too! You know George, McCain is still looking for a VP? Then you could make sure we all get 4L80e's instead of rebate checks.

were you even there? i didn't just buy all my tickets at once to scare off other people. I was willing to throw $ in the pot and happened to win. For you to insinuate that i bought out the raffle to ensure i won is annoying. I bought the same $ amount of tickets at homecoming last year and won nothing. Its all in good/fair intentions..trust me.

It is a raffle. You buy as many tickets as you want you dont like it then buy more yourself.

No one likes a sore loser.

The raffle tickets didn't run out at the event. I think the Nats staff had to buy an additional book of tickets at the event due to the high demand. In the end, anyone who to buy tickets allowed to do so.
