twobjshelbys Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) The raffle is starting a little earlier this year and it looks like it will be held on the eve of the annual fall fundraiser party. This raffle is a huge portion of their annual income. Last year the prize was a GT350 or 50K cash, this year it is a GT350R or 75K cash https://shelbyamericancollection.tapkat.org/wina2017ShelbyGT350R/ The museum is a privately held collection open to the public. It is now the home of Carroll Shelby's original CSX2000 Cobra (which can be seen in the background of one of the car photos).

twobjshelbys Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 It used to be they sold a very small number of tickets but I was told they got audited and have to run it as a sweepstakes instead of a lottery. That means you can get a free ticket(s) if you can find and follow the rules (I won't tell you how). They also reduced the ticket prices to sell more. Last year's did quite a lot more business than previously but the number of tickets (and thus your chances) was about 10x what the previous drawings were.

BlueBeast Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Hey guys -- just to let you know that you should keep purchasing tickets, I won the last raffle. So, buy them up, It's for a great cause. I just entered for the 2017 -- lightning can't strike twice, can it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to the museum? Before we moved to Vegas I lived about 10 miles away and went 4-6 times a year, knew the principal from other ventures (and at that time didn't know he was involved with the museum). It is a great piece of Shelby racing history! Edited January 25, 2017 by twobjshelbys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great piece of Shelby racing history! Steve Volk posted a video online of him receiving the keys at the museum with Steve and Jack Terhar. Congrats BlueBeast! Someday I'd like to be able to get that one day after all the years that I've contributed! Edited January 25, 2017 by JeffJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobjshelbys Posted August 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just a reminder that this is coming up soon. Unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll be coming back since my daughter is coming out here this coming week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
