The $10,000 Drive for 42,450 Contest!!! Details finally announced!
 
Welcome to PY’s largest contest ever run here on the PY Online Forums!

$10,000 in cash and prizes will be given away!

Over the past several months, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding this contest. Here is a summary of the state of the Pontiac hobby from our Administrator:

“Here's a fact that most of you are probably not aware of. Literally 90% of all the popular automotive forums were bought out by two very large investment groups over the last 10 years. Originally, most of them were all run by automotive enthusiasts….”
For the whole story, click here!

There is no doubt that we have the largest classic Pontiac gathering on the web. Let’s help each other by making this place HOME for all Pontiac enthusiasts.

You can do your part by showing them what a great place PY is and what they are missing out on by both welcoming new members and contributing. That's it!
And by doing just these two simple things, you qualify for winning some pretty darn good contest prizes.

Introducing…..

The Drive for 42,450!

Well that’s a weird number….is it? Here’s our logic.

There were 32,450 GTOs produced back in 1964. 2014 will be the 50th Anniversary of the year the greatest muscle car first roamed the streets. Add $10,000 in cash and prizes and you get our 42,450!!

It’s going to be a long cold winter for most of us. Why not stay inside, stay warm and win some cold hard cash just for participating on our Forums. It’s our way of saying “Thank You” for making this the greatest Pontiac forum out there.

Here are multiple ways to win with numerous prizes underneath:

Grand Prize: Anybody who is “Active” AND makes a post throughout the contest is entered into a lottery drawing. For every member you “refer” you get an extra lottery ticket in the drawing. Winner gets $7500 CASH! Drawing takes place when we reach 42,450 members.

Consolation Prizes:

1. The 42,450th member will receive Airfare and Hotel for 2014 PY Open House & Car Show.
2. Each new member, during this time period qualifies for a $50 UMI Products Gift Card.
3. Every week, we will draw from members who have been active and posting for a random prize drawing from list below.
4. Member with highest post count.
5. Member with the most referrals.
6. Member who posts the most in the Late Model Tech area wins $250 to GTOG8TA.com
7. “Most Helpful/Thanked” member in Late Model Tech area wins a GTO/G8 Vararam Cold Air Intake Kit.
8. Plus many more as we go along with the contest

As an added Christmas Bonus: The week before Xmas, we will randomly select one member for a PY Holiday Gift Pack ($50 gift card, Hurst Can and T-Shirt, GTO Starter Pack Kit). This member must be active and must have posted during the month of December.


Prize List:
- $7,500 Cash (Grand Prize)
- Airfare and Hotel for PY Open House
- $50 UMI Gift Cards
- $250 gift card for GTOG8TA.com
- Vintage Hurst Cans and T-Shirts
- 1968 Hurst Catalog
- MGP Custom Caliper Cover Kit (up to $340 value)
- Vararam Cold Air Intake Kit
- $50 Auto Custom Carpets Gift Card
- Boost Gauge from GlowShift Products
- $100 Pypes Gift Card
- $100 Snappin Turtle Gift Card
- Redi Rad from rediscoverradio.com
- $200 Phoenix Graphix Gift Card
- $50 Soffseal gift cards
- Free Convertible Top from Electron Top
- Many more still to come!!


Be sure to spread the word about this contest and about our Forums! Let's welcome all our new members and keep the Pontiac tradition alive so we can live another 50 years with the GTO!

That's what you take from all that??

"Them" is all the new members we get over the course of this contest.

2002Z4CSS 12-11-2013 01:16 PM

Wow, it would be nice to win something. :)

salem1912 12-11-2013 01:40 PM

So Eric if I tell "Johnny" down the street to register onto PY is he to say I sent him when he first post a hello? Can I be exempt from 2 prize(King of Prussia)?

Mr_GTO 12-11-2013 02:01 PM

Me me me!!! I need to restore my car and not sell it.

And by the way..."Referrals" only count if the new member fills in your PY User Name...

See picture for reference.

dm_fan 12-11-2013 04:53 PM

Invite your friends
 
Plus, in an effort to make it EVEN EASIER for you to invite your Pontiac friends to join the PY Forums, we've setup an "Invite Your Friends" feature.

Once you are logged in, you can use the "Invite Your Friends" link in your UserCP or follow this link:
http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...?do=invitation

The feature will allow you to enter the email address and a personal message that will get emailed to your friend, along with a link to our registration page that automatically fills in your username in the referral field.

It also keeps track of the invitations you've sent. So you can see who actually joined from your invitations and who still needs more convincing.

Give it a try!!
And Good Luck to everyone!!

Old Blue 66 12-11-2013 09:50 PM

Nice!! I could use some GTO cash to spend at PY.

eric_cspan 12-12-2013 09:57 AM

Spread the word to your buddies that are not members.

Everyone has a chance to win, but if you "refer" more members, you have a better chance to win something....maybe $7,500!

HUMBLER 12-12-2013 11:14 AM

Thank you PY for everything, not just this contest!

Chuckgeo 12-12-2013 12:49 PM

Sign me up! Great contest.

Bill Bolin 12-12-2013 09:01 PM

I'll take the boost gauge.......I will need one!! ;)

eric_cspan 12-13-2013 10:35 AM

It's only been two days and we're already seeing a jump in membership...but we've still got a ways to go. Keep it going!

Make sure you are posting this week. First prize will be given out next week.

GTOMazz 12-13-2013 10:55 AM

If I won the cash you can take it over to Trick Works Chris. That should finish up my car. ;)

wildthings 12-13-2013 12:07 PM

Finish my Tiger
 
If I win some cash or gift certificate, it will go towards a new hood for my 65.

shawshank 12-13-2013 02:24 PM

You can always check on the member count from the main Forums page at the bottom. We currently have 39,502 members

eric_cspan 12-17-2013 01:12 PM

A post today anywhere on the PY Forums qualifies you for a Procharger hat and t-shirt combo.

eric_cspan 12-18-2013 09:41 AM

Yesterday's winner: LordPancake.

PM sent for prize and address info.

Beginner's luck :p

Keep checking back as prizes are being given away almost every week. Next week is the BIG Christmas bonus. Make sure you are "referring" people to enter the drawing.

LordPancake 12-18-2013 09:48 AM

Wow you aren't kidding about beginners luck!

Now I have to go buy a Procharger to match the shirt... Haha thanks guys! You just won a forum member for life between Chris and winning a shirt and hat with a whole two posts!

UPDATE: Actually I have decided to yield my prize to a more deserving member of the PY community. I felt guilty taking it as a newbie scrub to the forums when so many people around here have put in their time and are certainly more worthy of the prize than me!

eric_cspan 12-18-2013 11:28 AM

Prize has generously been given to someone else by Lord Pancake.

We'll allow that for the time being :)

eric_cspan 12-19-2013 02:36 PM
