Could use a little help!

[bradltl]

So I got an email the other day and thought it was spam. It was. When I was scrolling to the bottom to find the 'unsubscribe' link (it was from a company that I've bought stuff from, not a random mailing list) I saw they were running a promotion. They offered $10,000 for a project car that had to be in progress now.

If you have a second (no login required), could you vote for my project and help me get my Lotus going?

Here's the link: http://bit.ly/10KQrW1

For more information on the car and the project..

They complained that I had an outside link on it. It's been corrected. Not sure if I am going to lose all the previous votes those. Ugh...

Side bar... here is where you guys are voting from:

Thanks again for all the support!

[ChrisJ]

You've got 4 votes now, so I guess you did lose them.

Ranking 20, Score 44.14 ?

[bradltl]

Yes, I lost the votes because I linked to more details on the project.

I don't understand the score, but the ranking is related to how many votes you get.

[ChrisJ]

I think the map is for all votes as on the overview page you get

Engagements: 6,776

Entries: 74

Reviews: 27

Votes: 368

Views: 6,235

Time Left: 31 days 10 hrs 54 mins

Best vote for you every day then

[Günter]

is the 3k limit calculated within the 10k you get offered ?

..why do you want to put this heavy axle in the rear, wheras several HotRots & Kitcars & Cobra Replications do use the Salisbury diff axle from old Jaguars ?!

[Guest saraphee]

Just voted, Good Luck!

Voted but now you're down to 8th.  Get voting, peeps!

[bradltl]

Thanks!  Yea, you can vote each day.  I already feel bad about asking, and don't want to spam you guys with requests.

 

It is fascinating to see where the views and votes are coming from...

Entering the second week, still could use your vote.  All the help is appreciated, and to show the appreciation I will put a sponsor graphic on the car / website.

Sorry, I typed a response on my phone, but must have never click post.

 

The prize and the competition are completely separate.  My intention is still to build the car to compete in that competition.  A couple changes have come up in the rules which allow for some additional spend without impacting the budget.  The biggest is using Kuhmo brand tires.  As they are a sponsor of the event, their products aren't counted to the car's budget.  The other is a bolt in roll cage.  We'll have to pay for the mount points, but the cage then becomes "free" from a budget perspective. OEM replacements on brakes are "free" as well.

 

We've thought about using the Jag rear end and diff.  It's not off the table yet.  The biggest advantage to using the Ford is the availability of gear ratios which can be swapped into it.  That will let us pick the most ideal ratio for the car.  The other part is that they are very common in the US, and thus... very cheap!

maybe you get in contact with those guys ..and ask for some background info:

My entry has fallen down to 12th.  I need to stay in the top 20 to have a chance at winning, and could really use all the votes I can get.  You guys have been a huge help so far, thank you so much!

[Bibs]

Done! Feel free to nag, I do forget to use my fresh vote every 24 hours!

[bradltl]

I don't want to spam the forum (no one wants to be that guy)... at least not yet.    If it gets close the last couple days you may hear from me more!

[bradltl]

Your weekly reminder to vote for my project.  Just 10 days left in the voting.  I'm currently in 13th and need to stay in the top 20.  Votes and Shares/RTs are hugely appreciated!  Thank you!
