NorCal 86DRIVE END OF SUMMER RAFFLE/PARTY

[PMok]

** PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LOCATION!! **
DATE & TIME: SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2013 @ 12:00PM
LOCATION: BUFFALO WILD WINGS
3712 Dublin Blvd, Dublin, CA ‎

Hard to believe but our summer is coming to an end soon! But we’ve had a great summer of fun drives and meets. What better way to celebrate that than to get together somewhere and reminisce about our fun times and then hold our long-promised end-of-summer raffle! The raffle and prizes are meant to say thank you and reward our most loyal members and supporters who’ve come out to all our meets and DRIVEs! If you’ve been out to some of our DRIVEs then you have received an 86DRIVE club card, and for each DRIVE you participated in you’ve received a ‘star’ to go on that card. Each star on your card is worth another ticket to the raffle! So the more DRIVEs you’ve been a part of, the more chances you have of winning!

There’s still more opportunities to earn more stars, the 86DRIVE events will continue until August 31. Then we will hold this raffle party in September 28th, at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Dublin. We’d like everyone to make it to this fun raffle party, but obviously that will not work for everyone. So for those of you who can’t make it, we’ll have a way for you to post up (on FT86CLUB) a photo of your collected stars, and we’ll put your tickets in the drawing as well. More details on that to come. Thanks for coming out and participating all summer long in our 86DRIVE events!

Here's more info on the raffle prizes!

Well we'll start it off with a few warmup prizes, nothing too grand but still something cool you will be happy to go home with. *We'll have some NorCal 86 DRIVE logo gear to give away, like a trucker hat, and some drinking glasses.




Next up we have a newly created item, our limited edition Fall 2013 86DRIVE.com t-shirt designed by RC51Ed and me! These won't be available anywhere else but from us, so you will have some very exclusive bragging rights.


But you need something for your car, you say. No problem we got you covered with this BLOX Racing shift knob.


More concerned about sprucing up the exterior of your car instead? Then keep your fingers crossed that you might win this next prize, generously donated by local vendor @andysaurus at Massdrop, a brand new Carsmo rear deck lid spoiler! The spoiler comes unpainted but is primered; it'll be up to you to get it painted and installed.




And ... we just got another donated prize courtesy of CounterSpaceGarage ... a Perrin Cold Air Intake! Very cool! (ummm see what I did there)



Thanks to Mike and the guys at CSG!

OK well I hope that got your attention and now you're all excited about attending this raffle party! Remember, only people who participated in our DRIVE events and earned a star on their 86DRIVE card are eligible for the raffle! If you haven't earned any stars you're still welcome to the party, but you'll be cheering for our loyal participants who will take home the best prizes.

Oh wait, there's one more prize I forgot to mention. Something to get you boxer engine enthusiasts what you've been craving... that boxer rumble. YES! That's right folks we will be giving away one free BORLA UEL header! Very generously donated to us by fellow 86DRIVE member @mkivsoopra (Garland). ** Note there are a few caveats that go with this header, not the least of which is, the part is not CARB-legal and is for "off-road" use only in CA.



OK, right now if you are not an active 86DRIVE member with a card full of stars, you are probably thinking, man I am missing out, what can I do to get in on this action? Well the answer is simple, you need to start coming out to the 86DRIVE events and go on a DRIVE with us. Showing up to a meet doesn't earn you a star, participating in the DRIVE is what earns you a star. We will have at least one more star-earning DRIVE this month so come on out and cruise with us! It isn't just a way to get eligible for a raffle ticket, it's also a heck of a lot of fun driving the fantastic roads that we like to play on. ** SORRY, OUR LAST STARS EARNING EVENT WAS 8/31 **

Stay tuned for further announcements! There may be even more sweet prizes to give away, but it's going to be a great time at Buffalo Wild Wings Dublin, regardless of whether you win any of these great items.

how about doing this raffle party at the big bbq meet?

that way we dont fight over the dates hahaha

[sdlynx]

Let's decide soon! If a we choose a Saturday, I need to arrange it. Shouldn't be a problem. This would be a blast!

JR, I PM'd you.

We want to make this an uniquely 86DRIVE event -- only people who have been earning the DRIVE stars are eligible for the raffle (and there's still opportunities to earn them, like this weekend!). And it's a more casual thing not an "official 86OC meet". So it doesn't really make sense to make it part of a larger group event, otherwise the other attendees will feel left out. Hopefully the raffle party and the BBQ will not conflict, as I'd very much like to attend both myself. If it were up to me, I'd pick Fri night for the 86D BWW meet, and do the BBQ on a Saturday all-day (but not necessarily the same weekend). But the voting is up so people can decide when they want to have this, and we can do separate voting for BBQ day.

[finch1750]

Just need at least 21 days in advance to make sure people can put in for the time off. Don't really care what day personally, though I voted Friday.

[RC51ed]

Friday! Friday! Friday!

Good way to start the weekend.

[Zen86]

Voted Friday. Been out of the board for awhile so missed all of the previous meets. No star = no raffle for me. Lol.
　
Btw how do I sign up to be a 86Drive member?

Show up to a drive!

Check out the thread on here, the calendar at 86drive.com, and our Facebook at Facebook.com/86drive.

If you would like your info posted on the website email us at info@86drive.com to look into that.

[MyRx]

Can't wait! Either day/time works...if a Fri, like mentioned, good way to start the weekend. If on Sat noon, you know what I'd rather do before and/or after the party haha especially if there's no setup/teardown to deal with lol.

[PMok]

well not much setup/teardown involved... other than hauling prizes to the venue haha. and I guess a laptop to display videos from. BWW has the AV hookups already I think.

Vote on the 86DRIVE site if you haven't already guys! Poll will close on Aug 24 but if we have a clear winner we'll nail down the date sooner. Right now though it's very close voting...

[PMok]

Voting is still very close on this... most popular days seem to be Fri Sep 20 and Sat Sep 28, it's neck and neck competition right now.

Also, curious to see what raffle prizes will be given away? Check out our new updated post on 86DRIVE to give you a preview of the prizes!

[finch1750]

Well the Summer Norcal meet is the 28th now it seems, so come on 20th! lol. Though maybe if the two are super close in votes like they are currently we can default to one to avoid conflict?
