The March issue of the Kit Car Builder magazine is out and there's some nice coverage of the Kick-Out-S.S. along with new pictures of the raffle car. 
If you have not already purchased your raffle ticket, you may want to hurry - time and quantity is running out quickly!
Enjoy the online version of the magazine:

So wondering if membership has increased so folks that read this magazine can purchase tickets. How are the ticket sales doing?

Gary,

I bet that they are waiting for your check for 11 tickets.


The last I heard was that only 828 tickets have been sold


I know I got mine last week


I do not know how many 'new' or 'renewed' memberships have been gained.  I do know that a bunch of non-member raffle tickets have been returned to the non-members.

Joe;

You saw me at Moab, so you know I would never be able to fit into that buggy, so I'll just stay out of the fray. But I sure hope they sell enough tickets so that the raffle happens. So, any word if there has been an increase in the membership due to this? Just wondering...

Hi Gary, The article just came out this week, and, so far, I haven't seen any new members yet.
As of right this minute, we have 854 active members, with 22 of them being new members who have joined since 1/1/2014.  I'll update the count every month, or sooner, if I see a sudden increase in the number of new members.  I only know of two people who have joined the club so they can buy raffle tickets. That could change with the Kit Car Builder article now out and circulating.  I have rejected 40 orders from people with either no membership, or an expired membership.

Vincent,
I went two different Barns & Nobles today and neither one had the magazine.
Is it on the news rack or just out now for the subscribers?

Now what am I going to do when visiting the throne and doing my business. I sure don't want to take any electronic devices with me in there.
