I didn't see this come through for some reason. If you've already seen it,
sorry for the repetition.
I went up to my trailer this morning to check that everything's ready for
Monterey--I haven't even opened it after the Portland Historics. It looks
like someone ransacked it--but no, some moron left the bungies loose on the
parts shelves. What a mess.
I finally dug through it and thought to check the cooler. Arrggh. some moron
left it full of left over food. My word!! I'd fire my crew chief but I
wouldn't have a driver.

Subject: Goodwood Raffle at the Columbia River Classic
Peyote and I are headed off to the the Monterey Historics next week. Hard
to believe that Peyote is part of the Featured Marque. My communications
after next Tuesday will probably be limited to sticking up CRC posters in
the Laguna Seca rest rooms.
But first I wanted to tell you about this: The Boys & Girls Aid Society is
putting on a raffle as part of the Columbia River Classic: Two 3-day passes
to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and a $2000 travel voucher to get you
there and cover accommodations (unless you choose to stay at the Earl of
March's little Bed and Breakfast, in which case you might need a second
mortgage). It's a $3000 package and they are only going to sell 1500
tickets.
How often do you ever see one of these things that actually has something
cool for YOU.
Given the nature of the crowd attending both the CRC and the ABFM, I doubt
they will last through the first morning. But I'd like to see a real
enthusiast win this. Especially since Diane and I are funding this as part
of our yearly charitable contributions. I've never managed to get to
Goodwood myself. I've got to take the time someday soon. Maybe we'll see you
there next year!
The CRC website will have a page on the raffle sometime in the next few
days, but until then you can get there through the back door by clicking the
link below:

Or if that doesn't work you can go to www.crclassic.com/party
<http://www.crclassic.com/party> and click "reserve yours today".
Raffle tickets are $25 each or 5 for $100.
In the unlikely event that you don't know what the Festival of Speed is
(hint: it's the world's largest vintage motorsports event) the link is

Naturally ALL the proceeds go to the Boys & Girls Aid Society
