Opportunity

Jim: I emailed the home office and they confirmed with me that the drawing WILL be held this year. I don't know if they realize the negative feelings that they have generated my missing two drawing dates. Thanks for your patience.

No update on their website or Facebook page... I'm sure many folks are expecting to see their name listed as the winner. Longest contest in history.

A new contest date has been posted, but I have not heard who the winner was. Maybe waiting until the winner is contacted.

They probably called me at home.

Hope so, Jim! Glad I don't have to pick the name, though. I know so many friends who deserve a system!

I hope that is it... Looks exactly like years past when the date for the contest changed, but no winner was selected...

No call on my home line or cell. Maybe they are waiting until next week to call??

Still waiting on that announcement...................................... .......................

If it changes again I would suggest a call to your states attorney general.

Steve emailed me today saying that the winner would be announced this week.

I hope so - since last week the update was: "I have been told that the winner will be announced on Friday! Stand by!"

I heard it would be delivered at the Bluegrass Motorsports Park race.

This company promised a sweepstakes in exchange for our email address and then delayed several times for over two years.

And now we got yet another "swear to god we're doing the drawing" promise 10 days ago. And now we have yet another promise of an announcement.

I don't think anyone here expects to actually hear a winner announced this week.

Bill, I know you're just he messenger, and nobody here blames you. But I know you know this is killing any chance you have of a sale to anyone here.

Hell, at this point they'll have to give every one of us a unit if they don't expect us to badmouth the company if anyone ever asks us about it.

Quoted for truth.

Bill has been awesome and allowed us to use his RK demo system in our rally car twice, including our win at Rally Mexico last year. I love the Race Keeper system; it has always performed flawlessly, the cams are adequate, and the data is easy to read. However, due to the company's ever present shenanigans (this yearly non-existant giveaway and the consistant non-delivery of promised features) I will never purchase a Race Keeper for either of our cars...just on principle.




The question that begs to be asked...what's the best data acquisition system (incl. customer service) on the market now?

[boywonder]

A slight tangent but still related to the topic at hand; a prime example of why Amazon is at the top of the food chain and why Race Keeper will never become the company they could be (provided they continue their current business practices). A superior product is not enough: http://www.warrenellis.com/?p=13611

Friday evening at 11:30pm eastern time and still no update on a winner...

The funny thing is, to me, the money involved.
So they promise to give away a system. Cool. What's that cost??? Maybe $2000? So it costs them around $1000? (Ignoring the write off etc).
So, what does $1000 buy in a print ad? Maybe two moderate sized ads on a non premium page in Sportscar??
(In other words, this sin't a huge amount to the company, yet could attract a fair amount of attention for them)
But, it seems like they've bought themselves a ton of negative attention....AND they HAVE to give a system away. Seems like a lose lose to me...
