Donations for LTX Shootout

[phantomzer0]

We are currently taking donations to help sponsor the LTX shootout. Even if we do not hit the goal, the money will go towards one big donation from the community.

[Twisted Z]

Nice :D

I should be able to kick in next week. Mortgage this week ;)

[travail]

Were will it be at?

[Twisted Z]

it will be in KC again. Great place for it.

BTW I do not want to hear a SINGLE work about it beoing far away. NOT ONE! :D

well unless you can beat the 2,400 miles it is from me;)

[Tyler Wheat]

I'll be willing to help out when I can. It'll be after I get this house I'm after.

That's fine. We don't want anyone to feel forced or pushed into donating. It's purely up to you guys.

Oh, I wasn't trying to imply that. I think its going to be an awesome event, and I'll be attending. I'm just going to do what I can when I can to keep this LT interest alive.

Hell yeah dude! The one thing I love about lt1 owners, is how loyal to the motor they are! We have a lot of die hard enthusiasts here!

Yeah the community is pulling together man. We still have a lot of donations not even posted up there yet. We need it to confirm before it can post!

I don't think we will have any trouble reaching our goal.

[lt1noob]

well see how my paycheck is tomorow and ill probably donate a bit more. i probably wont be going to ltx shootout (not 100% sure though). but ill still donate a bit if my paycheck allows. getting a sponsorship like this will really get the forum out there.

Message from Tony: Title sponsor from last year is not interested for this year, leaving it wide open for us. We just need to try to have the money raised within a couple of months.

[SoulReaver]

Thanks for all the donations guys!!! This community is really pulling together!

[Fixxer99TA]

Yeah its amazing how much LTX Love is out there, everyone wants to help out...

Keep it coming, lots of crazy plans in store for this site I am sure :D

[The Engineer]

I finally made a donation, not sure why I didn't get around to it sooner.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to next year's shoot-out and coming back to KC and KCIR again. I plan to run in the Heads-Up N/A class again, my car fits into that class perfectly and I've never had power-adders on any of my cars over the years.

Also, this year I'll say around after the event and drink more beer! Maybe Ellis and I can go heads-up on the beer drinking and see which one of the old LTX guys can hold the most beer! :cheers:

Warren

[geoman]

[Tony Shepherd]

Wow guys! Looking good! Thanks to those who donated!:metal:

[slawson86]

I cant make it either, GA is a LONG way away. but dont mind donating to the cause, ill donate a bit here and there. we will see how short the pot is in a few weeks before i make another donation

[AChotrod]

[grn95t/a]

[Tony Shepherd]

Thanks and yes every penny counts! Look...it is over the $1000 mark now. :claps:

[hempkat94z]

Donated for the Shootout. I hope to make it and run in the 12.50 and slower unless i do some more mods....LOL

[Fastbird]

Thanks and yes every penny counts! Look...it is over the $1000 mark now. :claps:


I wish. Start up costs and such have sucked about $400 off that total. But we're selling stickers now and are making great headway towards recouping all expenses.

Tony, is that title sponsor spot still open? How much of a window do we have still?

[AChotrod]

Hmm...... I thought the totals up top were just for the shootout? Oh well I would rather have the site than the title sponsorship. Both would be the best case senario!!!

Oh...I thought that amount was for the shootout. You should start charging a small fee to your site sponsors to help with the site expenses.

I can wait a couple more months for the title sponsorship fees if needed.:cool:

Thanks again!

[AChotrod]

Ill get some more in there after my build is done! Broke as a joke right now!!

All the proceeds we get whether or not we title sponsor will be going to the shootout. We do have operating costs and that pot of money is where the funds are coming from.

And I'm going to be sending out sponsorship letters shortly.

[BoostedZ28]

I put a little something in the kitty...hope this year's shootout is another success and I hope to be there as well.

[AChotrod]

Can we get it so we really know what going to the sponsorship? I think more guys would help if they knew we were short alot more than it says! I dont mean to be shady but thats pretty miss leading.

If I knew how to edit the total I would but that's Phantomzer0's specialty.

[Z28pr0jekt]

I'll be giving a better donation at the end of january area

[2XR95Z28]

Just donated 10 bucks. will try to donate more after the motor is done. Can't wait for the ltx sticker!

[BoostedZ28]

I noticed that after I made a donation, the "donation bar" and the amount has not increased. Is there just a bug in that program? Also, how do I go about receiving the LTXTECH sticker and the VIP membership? Thanks!

The donations need to be confirmed by one of the 3 admins. Once confirmed, the bar will move and the necessary adjustments will be made. Thanks for the support!

[Speed Inc.]

88% AWESOME!

I should have a few dollars in my PayPal to contribute again soon.

[SoulReaver]

Thanks so much Larry. It's so much appreciated!!!

[BLOWNDFIZ]

I donated today! Will try to donate some more to help reach the goal.

[phantomzer0]

If I knew how to edit the total I would but that's Phantomzer0's specialty.
There's only one way to edit the total, and that's to remove donations. I didn't want to go removing anyone's name from the donation list, so I didn't change anything.

I just want to tell everyone THANK YOU!!! You guys have pulled together as a community and made this YOUR sponsorship and not just a website name!

LTXTech would be nothing without you guys and you have proven that by the way things have been going.

I cannot say it enough, THANK YOU!!!!! :metal:

[armyb95zxc]

Guys, Please hold off on donations until our status bar is back at the top of the page. Once the bar is up, we can honestly use whatever anyone can give. We took a big hit from our funding in order to get the servers back online. We came up about 150.00-200.00 in the hole on this. Unfortunately.

However, I strongly believe in this community. I have a feeling we will still make our goal!

[Fastbird]

Current Net Proceeds we have available is $654.81 due to $799.64 in operating costs. This should be ramping up quickly with the onset of paid sponsorship.

[Tony Shepherd]

Good deal. I hope you guys make the goal and fast!

Email sent Ryan!

Everyone, I just got done calculating all the numbers, we've got $833 and change sitting there now and it's stacking up quickly. With the addition of vendor fees at the beginning of next month, we should be easily within reach of a LTx Shootout title sponsorship!!!! The ONLY forseeable expenditure we've got coming is another sticker order as I"m starting to run low.

[Z28pr0jekt]

responded to it sir... I'm glad the funds are getting back up there for the shootout donation.. I think that will really help put our site even more on the map for the short time that it has been up.

For the people who have donated, how long does it take before we see the VIP Member bar under our name?

Depends on how quickly the payment clears and when an admin sees it.. mine came in a matter of hours

[Speed Inc.]

I have never received mine though I donated months ago.

[phantomzer0]

I will get you taken care of with Fastbird ASAP. I apologize on behalf of the staff for such a delay.

You should hear something soon from Sean.

Just so everyone knows, we're up over $1K now, and with some supporting vendor dues that are incoming, we're going to pull to within 300 of our overall goal!!!!

Haha I'd give more but my budget has gotten VERY tight recently... to the point where I'm giving up a deal I just saw on some assembled ported heads for 900$ :( I wont even make a lower offer on it because I know I can't swing it.

Awesome that were so close though

Dude, you of all people have done your share, hands down.

[windsofthor]

Donated to the cause!

Now i just need an Opti cover, lol.

[Fastbird]

Just so EVERYONE knows, around $300 from the $1500 goal now. I'm going to take a look at it tonight and provided my financial situation is ok I'm probably going to pony up the last that we need so we can officially lock the site in as the title sponsor!!!

Is that with the vendor money? I'd hate to see you have to chip in that much more.. I'd love to donate more but I explained my situation already.

I woulda thought the vendor fees would have put us up closer

[roadrocket]

Donation sent

[Z28pr0jekt]

oh wow i just noticed, since you implemented fees looks like that cut a good chunk out of vendors huh?

[Fastbird]

That with vendor fees and me tossing in somewhere between 250-300 to get it done. Don't worry about it, I need to do something around here besides ban foul mouthed people.

[Fastbird]

HUGE. We have very few, but I'm going to be contacting a handfull over the next week or so.....

[Z28pr0jekt]

Yea, that's why I thought we'd be closer... sucks... are our fees on par with other sites? (I'm assuming cheaper actually)

[Fastbird]

Way way WAYWAYWAYWAYWAY cheaper. Cheapest one I know if is the venerable CamaroZ28.com @ around $125 a month. We're charging $50. If you want to try to advertise on an IB owned board......MINIMUM of $275 a month for the basic right for post and signature advertising (ask how I know).

That's what I figured, guess a lot just don't think the customer base is big enough... but I know I wouldn't have ordered my clutch through speed inc if it weren't for here so im glad they are a sponsor :)

Title Sponsor is awesome..good deal Sean!

[phantomzer0]

Alright guys it's that time again! We are now taking donations for the 2010 LTX Shootout!!! Get your donations in now!

Also, don't forget that every donation 10$ or MORE will guarantee you a special user bar and a free sticker in the mail! Talk about a good deal!

[AChotrod]

Bump it up!!!

[AChotrod]

half way there!!!!! Lets get this done and lock it in boys and girls!!!!

[Ryan Stout]

When does it end? Dec 31st?

[Huff035]

May not have an LTX anymore but I'm still going to support.

[AChotrod]

I sure hope thats not the case. If it is I would like to know asap so I can just slap in a th400, and consentrate on things here.

[popo8]

May not have an LTX anymore but I'm still going to support.


very STAND UP man:metal:

[1FASTSS]

When does it end? Dec 31st?

Pretty sure donations will be taken after the 31st. We got this done a month or so before the shootout last year.

Once a date and place is set then I'm sure it will pick up again.

[blackbird1084]

Um what happened to the donation bar? Did it reset at the start of the year or did we hit 1k? I'm confused.

[chevymec]

I would guess it resets every year.

[5POINT7]

very STAND UP man:metal:x2

[Speed Inc.]

Once a date and place is set then I'm sure it will pick up again.

yes I will agree to that

There is nothing set, so people are most likely hesitate to donate for basically nothing at the moment.

I will be making a nice donation once something has been set.

[SoulReaver]

Just so you all know, the donation goal can only be set to month or year. So since the new year was a few days ago, the goal was reset to zer0. Once we have a calculation on the remaining total, I will adjust the bar.

Thanks everyone!

[SoulReaver]

And just to clarify on "calculation". The bar says one total, but it doesn't show "pending" transactions. It only shows cleared donations. So the actual figure is larger than what was shown on Dec. 31st. Some donations may have cleared in the last few days.

[gump]

Please fix the bar, so that we can see what you still need.

Thanks,

Daren

yes..I am curious what the actual amount is myself.

I know the total not my place to post it tho I know Randall is working on the site tonight so it might be in his plans

[SoulReaver]

Thanks Charles. The donation total is no longer an issue, the check was written.. Donations will still be accepted for the forum though. If you would like to donate, the money will help go to keeping this forum alive!

[Huff035]

So where do you donate now? I don't think i've seen a bar up or even where to donate with the new setup. Jw.

[Fastbird]

That's still a work in progress. I'm not so sure the bar is going to go back up though, we'll see. Site donations are always accepted, but we were way ahead of schedule this year so the check got sent to Tony yesterday.

[phantomzer0]

We will always take donations, it's just a matter of using a donation bar or not. We can always use the money to keep the site running, it's definitely not cheap and every dollar you guys donate helps.

We need to get some good gear up for you guys now that we have LTX 2.0 *finally* up and running.

[ZGOBYBY]

When will donations for the 2011 Shootout start up? Just curious.

[quik95lt1]

x3 im gonna throw in a few bucks.

[ZGOBYBY]

??? Any word??? This is one thing I am sooo willing to throw some money at!

[Tony Shepherd]

Looking forward to LTXTECH being title sponsor again. I want to throw some money in the donation bar again as well.

[AChotrod]

Im in to throw some cash towards the shootout too.

[n2ocamaro]

I will not be participating next year, but will be a spectator. You can count on me for a donation.
