Mazda MX-5 Cup Car Being Given Away at Sebring 12 Hour

We’re just a couple weeks away from the drawing for a Mazda MX-5 Cup Car by one of our favorite charities, Lemons of Love.

But the brand new Mazda MX-5 Cup Car isn’t the only prize in this drawing—as if that isn’t enough. The winner will also receive a Simpson carbon fiber helmet, a season’s worth of brake pads from Alcon brakes and a complete set of books by BS Levy.

Tickets are awarded for every $100 donated to the charity through this page.

The winner will be drawn and announced at Sebring International Raceway at around the middle of the day on March 18—while the 12 Hours of Sebring is in full swing. Don’t worry, you don’t have to be at the track to win.

I'm actually surprised that they don't have more entries yet. Thanks for the reminder!

I am surprised as well.

Will they still give it out if they don't get all entries?

Me too. That means odds are better, though. Tell your friends!

In reply to AWSX1686:

Yes they will. I actually just spoke to Jill (the awesome person behind Lemons of Love) about it today.

I just threw my hat into the ring! Even if they sell all the tickets---- you still have a way, way better chance at winning this, than most contests. Besides, we're talking about a pro-built, fully-prepped, brand new MX-5 Cup Car! These cost at least $60K to build.

It's also for a great charity. Lemons of Love creates "goodie bags" for people going through chemotherapy. These bags have lip balm, hand cream, lozenges, and even happy drawings from kids. It's an amazing way to help those who are going through a really tough time. Nearly all of us have been touched by cancer---- this is a great way to help those who are fighting the battle.

Do eeettt!

I bought a ticket the first day this raffle opened. Might have even bought the first one. Sort of forgot about it, to tell you the truth.

You'll need to log in to post.
