Challenger - Mickey Thompson's own story

[John Noonan]

Seven thousand five hundred cents...and 1 more for old time sakes...7501 cents

[Stainless1]

$100 but you have to throw in a Willie B pin.... and send 20 to Sheri... so that must make mine 80  

[SPARKY]

Why not auction this thing for the sequence you will recieve it then sign it with your car number and speed and ship it to the next one  The highest bid has the option to be first or last.    we should have the ability to raise a lot more money and a lot more will enjoy it

I have that book and it is one of my most prized possessions. I have seem them sell on Ebay in the $150 range. This book is worth anything you can pay for it if you are a racing fan. LSR, drags, road race or Indy cars. Mickey did well in all these forms of racing.

Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, this auction runs through my bedtime tonight -- which I'll define as 9 PM EST.  I appreciate very much the bidder's interest so far and wish to heck that I had multiple copies so each of you could get one.

I like Sparky's idea, it would raise more for the site.

We do these kinda auctions all the time on other boards. Just come up with something cool to auction and go for it. More money for Jon. I have some vintage CARtoons mags up on the HAMB right now that should send $100 to the site, I do this a couple times a year. I feel it is the least I can do to support a site and more fun than just a Debit card donation!

Here is my example, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=553978 at any given time there are 3 or 4 auctions going. Thats a lot of coin that could help Jon if we do them here.

Jon set the cut off date and anyone interested should have bid on it by tonight. Changing the rule would not be fair to the high bidder up to the cut off hour. If you want the book bid on it before 9;00 PM EASTERN tonight.
It is a great book.

Another one and a half-hours or so 'til I declare the winner, who, as of right now, is Scott Bearisto of Canada and Saudi Arabia or Ethiopia or one of them there foreign countries that have oil.  The bidding for the Mickey Thompson book stands at $125.00, the majority of which will be (thank you very much) a donation to landracing.com, and the rest will go to the donor of the book to help him cover the cost of his investment.

Keep bidding, folks -- unless you want Scott to get the book!

PS  The voting on the poll - started for Sparky's idea of modifying the auction -- stands at 86 for "keep it the way it is" to 14 for changing it to Sparky's concept.

[Stainless1]

130

[Tman]

I'll toss an extra $20 into the pot towards the highest bidder at the close of auction. So, if Stainless' 130 stands, I will up his bid with my 20 to 150

Mweaning my 20 is for Stainless or whomever to get the book, a donation above the ending bid

[NS_Rider]

wasn't the bidding already over?

I think Stainless was 5 seconds late on the auction.
