    Default Is it just me...

    or does anyone else think Lamont should have withdrawn his name from consideration, or not bought tickets?

    I've never felt the air sucked out of a room so fast as when the winning ticket number was identified as his.

    Just wondering.

    This is not the end of the story. I bought $300.00 worth of tickets to help encourage others to reach their goal. I never even considered winning but for some reason I did and I'm going to sleep on it and pray about it and talk it over with my wife and we will do what feels right....owning that Spyder doesn't feel right but neither did walking away from the winning ticket. I won't be pressured one way or the other from public opinion and I'll follow my heart as always.

    Good on ya, Lamont! The luck of the draw hey!!

    Regardless of whatever you come up with, just buying any tickets to start with let alone putting $300 into it was above & beyond, & I'm sure that you'll work out something appropriate for the Road Warrior F3! Not gonna be an easy decision tho, and you'll probably get some people off side whatever you do; but that's sometimes what happens when it's all down to the luck of the draw & now it's up to you what you feel is right.

    Well I prayed about it, slept on it and woke up with the answer and peace in my heart and a scripture verse on my mind. Just have to work out the details.

    You could always keep to use as a demo and/or for a test bed for the various Manufactures/Vendors to try to ensure there products fit and
    perform as expected for the new F3

    Either way you entered the draw in good faith and lady luck (Joan is her name) was on your side

    I say Lamont bought the tickets, he won fair and square. He gets to decide what to do.

    Congratulations Lamont!!! First, and foremost, thank you for supporting the Road Warrior Project. We see, once again, that when God's blessings flow there is no stopping them. You have a new life with a wonderful wife and success will follow because you put God first. You were led to a great verse to guide you so what ever you do it will bless everyone involved.

    Congratulations Lamont. It doesn't matter how many tickets were purchased or that it was you who won what matters is that when the Lord places events upon us we know it's his will. I am happy for you and see nothing wrong with this outcome. You do so much for others. I know you have been there for me many times. Again, congratulations and God Bless you and Joan!

    I too believe that if you are part of a draw for anything then you or anyone associated with the draw should not be purchasing tickets. When something like this happens it makes a lot of people skeptical. I don't know Lamont personally but he seems like a really great guy and he is obviously very generous. That being said, when he purchased the tickets to help out the cause he should have given the tickets away after he bought them or when he won, asked them to choose another ticket.
    Here in Canada when there is any kind of draw for money or whatever, anyone associated to the draw is disqualified from winning just for this reason. It is usually in the fine print.

    Default I understand but.......

    I had for a split moment thought the same thing, that employees should not be eligible to enter contests. But this was a raffle and a raffle to support OUR VETERANS and WOUNDED VETERANS at that.

    Lamont had every RIGHT to buy tickets and show his support as well to OUR VETERANS. Once I realized that I felt completely different and was happy about it.

    Lamont is a humble, sincere, caring, individual and compassionate His sincere care for people shows. As he said lasat night it was the first time he ever WON anything in his life and he entered thinking he'd NEVER win. Well, the light shown from above last night and it was on HIM.

    We ALL should be humbled and thankful and celebrate with him in his surprise win. THe Road Warriors had NO issue on this and neither should we.

    It's been an awesome Spyderfest and it's been a pleasure to attend and see the wonderful changes for this year. I am excited that we have been able to attend now 50% of the Spyderfests.

    Hope to see you ALL right back in Springfeild again NEXT YEAR and may the weather be as beautiful as it was this year.

    Time sure flew by! Sad to see us all leave for our respective homes!!!!!

    No. Lamont bought tickets to support the Road Warrior Foundation like many of us did. I thank and applaud him for that. His number was picked. He won. No reason he needs to do anything other than feel good about his contribution and enjoy the ride.
