DGRR Raffle for FREE Engine Build - Sponsored by Rotary Rebuild Store

Owner of Rotary Rebuild Store, David Jerome has agree to do a raffle to raise money for ALS foundation for finding cure for Lou Gherigs disease. One of our fellow rotorhead Mark White (Mark57) passed away couple of years ago and last time @ DGRR we collected donations and donated $600 to ALS foundation of New Orleans (Mark's home town).

The winner of this raffle will get FREE rebuild of 13B engine from Rotary Rebuild Store.

Each raffle ticket will be sold for $10 and ALL proceeds will goto ALS foundation of New Orleans.

I'll let Rotary Rebuild Store to get on and tell us what you will get for the rebuild..

Once again, I would like to thank David for doing this and all the other sponsors for making DGRR 2009 happen!

Thank you!

Philip Sohn

Count me in. I have a engine that needs a rebuild.

Is the raffle available to any member of RCC, or only those going to DGRR?

Just asking!

Thanks to David for lending his services, and for everyone who donates to this cause!!

HOLY MONKEY! I'm in. I will be doing a rebuild this summer and $10 is well worth the chance...

[bop_rocco]

Put me down for 2 tickets. David knows I will prob need a rebuild after I go single. Lol and he is doing that so maybe I will get it all done at the same time.

damnnation... that's incentive for me to make it out to DGRR one year.

[David Jerome]

First off, thanks to Phil for hosting this great event and helping shed light on small rotary based businesses like mine and the other great sponsors of this event.

For those that dont know myself or my business I will take a little time to explain my history with rotaries/rx7s. I have been involved in the rotary world since 2001 when I purchased my first FD. I have since owned around 70 fds, and modified/brokered countless others. These cars have taken me all around the U.S., introduced me to some of my closest friends, and provided memories and experiences that will truly last a lifetime. There are few events left that bring large groups of rotor heads together, and I guarantee none are like the DGRR event.

RotaryRebuildStore.com is a small business I started when I realized the decline in the used car market. At just over 1 year into the new business I am happy to report it is growing rapidly and I am constantly looking for ways to increase the quality of my engines while decreasing the price for my customers. The market is not what it once was around the turn of the new century but with great enthusiasts like Phil and others, the rotary will continue to have a great future and a cult like following :).

I am not trying to exclude anyone, but it is hard for me to get parts for 12As and Renesis engines so I figured I would stick with the standard 13B engines(Na or Turbo, S4-S6).

This will NOT be one of my pre-built short blocks. The winner of the raffle will be able to send me an engine and I will take care of the rebuild labor, and rebuild kit free of charge. Any damaged parts such as, rotors, housings, irons, bearings, and e-shafts will not be covered under the rebuild. If I have the parts you need on the shelf I will offer you a great deal on the parts you need. Keep in mind I have lots of 13B-Rew parts and S5 TII parts but few parts from other series.

Rebuild will include:
2mm Atkins Apex Seals
New Apex Seal Springs
New Corner Seal Springs
New Corner Seal Plugs
New Coolant Seals and Coolant O-rings
Atkins Thermal Pellet
Viton Oil Control Rings
Rebuilt Oil Pump
New Front Cover Gakset
New Front and Rear Main Seals
Porting if the customer desires

Hopefully many will participate in this raffle as it truly goes to a good cause. Thanks to Phil and all the others who help with and support this great event.

Great Idea guys! I assume that you can purchase the tickets during check in? If so, then I am down and will gladly contribute. Thanks for offering this up!

This is good stuff David. So what are the rules? Have to be present to win? Can anyone buy raffle tickets or do you have to be a DGRR attendee? Obviously I'd love to be there, but I won't be around. Either way, just let me know. I'll either buy 10 raffle tickets or, if you have to be present to win, I'll just donate a $100 since it's for a good cause.

[David Jerome]

Phil is in control of that, but if there is a way for it to be open to non-attendees that is fine also as it is all about raising money. The more the merrier as long as we can keep it organized.

[Herblenny]

Well, I guess we could do it outside of DGRR... Let me think about this..

For DGRR attendees, you could buy the ticket(s) when you register/ check in.

[zonblitz]

I'm in, WTG Dave.

[D4rw1n]

This would help me out a lot since I can't go to DGRR this year due to a blown coolant seal, so hopefully non attendees can enter for a chance to win.

[David Jerome]

I thought I had posted this update here already but I guess I had not.

Dan Atkins from www.AtkinsRotary.com saw this thread and offered to give me the rebuild parts for the winner of this raffle at a large discounted rate to help with the cause. I did not contact Dan or Atkins and ask for this assistance, they simply volunteered to help with the cause. Once again thanks to Dan and everyone at Atkins for helping with this cause and helping me so much with my business, www.rotaryrebuildstore.com.
