Here is a much more informed post on the Pink Raffle to help build:
Alright, were going to do a raffle for the longblock that will go into the Pinks car.
We've decided to do this as such, we will sell tickets @ $26 per ticket, that way it should be w/ in everyones budget to a degree. We must sell a minimum of 275 tickets. We'll cap sales at 325 tickets or 5 days after the 275 mark has been broken, whichever occurs 1st.
In buying these raffle tickets you will be helping fund the pinks build so that we can complete the car, and bring the most competitive S30/L block to pinks that is presently possible!
We cannot talk specifics of the motor on unsecured forums, but it will be safe to say that even if you bought $1000 in raffle tickets, you'd still be making out like a bandit if you won...
What i will say is this, 7.79:1 CR motor, so silly amounts of boost, forged parts, coatings, and a lightened/balanced assembly. Fast and strong...
That being said, i want it to be abundantly clear in how this will work, this is a raffle for the complete longblock from valve cover to oil pan out of the Pinks car engine bay. In this raffle you will be bidding on the motor we will be racing in the actual car, this is a show based around the premiss of gambling. That being said the tickets being sold in this raffle, are being sold with the known factor that the raffle will only go through in full, if we win the race, if we do not win we are at the mercy of the competitors. I want that to be abundandtly clear to ANYONE who intends on purchasing tickets.
If you purchase a ticket, and are the winner of the raffle, you would be asked not to publish anything about it until AFTER the show airs. Meaning if you intend to get on other forums and brag about having the Pinks motor, put it on ebay, talk about it in a blog, whatever... we'd ask that you wait until the episode has aired.
The drawing for the raffle would be done once we have returned home, we would either do a live webchat, or notify the winner via e-mail, or if the board see's fit, i'm considering trying to get Rich to draw the ticket right there on air, then leave everyone in suspense until the show airs. The winner will be responsible for getting the engine to there doorstep, we'll work w/ shippers and all that, but the fee's involved are on the shoulders of the winner. Tickets would be awarded in numerical order as they are claimed.
This all having been said, we will begin taking ticket purchases now.
If you want to purchase a ticket:
We will be accepting paypal, cash, cashiers check, etc... the sooner your payment, the sooner you have secured a ticket basically.
If paying by paypal:
- Paypal to GuyStrtRcr18@hotmail.com
- Include your board name, and what board you are from in the additional information box! Can't keep track of screen names if we don't have yours!
- Include your home address.

Well they're still accepting raffle tickets for the Pinks Z Engine! They're trying to recoupe funds from the trips to Florida and any other costs above and beyond. We even have Team HybridZ T-Shirts just like the ones worn on the show! Check out the shirts HERE. All this is to support the team as they have been asked to compete AGAIN! So we will be seeing the Pinks Z on national TV more than one time with some subtle changes...Thanks to everyone that has supported us and we hope you will continue this support with Pinks Z II.
