THE BIG SAVE OUR AFR COMPETITION!

Ticket Tally at bottom of this post

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/images/home/SaveAFR/SaveAFR_banner_noclick.jpg


By now most of you will know that AFR09 ended up costing Si quite a bit of money, in fact I believe he even re-mortgaged his house to finance it. Due to unforseen circumstances namely the rain & a few other factors, he didn't break even, in fact he didn't even come close.

Even though he says he's prepared to cop this expense, I don't think he should have to wear it all on his own, especially if it means that the event won't go ahead next year. This would be a major blow to the custom bike scene in Australia & the loss of a great weekend of bike related madness for all of us. Im sure anyone who has attended the AFR will agree.

I think there is enough members on this site to help out with some of this debt.

Here's how we can all help & maybe win something along the way.




The S_VE OUR A__ Competition is a guessing competition and is open to anyone reading this.

You enter by donating $50 to the ASF bank account listed here:

Bank: NAB
Account Name: ASF
BSB: 084-707
Account number: 821533330

and leaving your username (join up now if you haven't already - it's free) and your answer to the missing letters in the sentence above as the details.

Alternatively you can use the donate button at the top of this screen and leave your username and answer in the paypal message box, but please remember Paypal charges an extra $1.50 in fees.

!!! Important, BE SURE TO PUT YOUR USERNAME IN THE DESCRIPTION & ONLY THE MISSING LETTERS FROM THE SENTENCE ABOVE!!!

Otherwise we won't know who has entered.

Each entry is $50

If you want to enter more than once just donate the required amount relative to the number of entries you want. If you want you can also reply to this topic with how many times you entered, a simple number will do.

Ok hopefully this all makes sense so far.

The competition is limited to 400 entries & will be drawn when all entries are sold.

The draw will take place 11am at Extreme Creations on the Saturday immediately after the competition finishes & the results will be posted here asap after that. Anyone is welcome to attend the draw.

Every entry has a chance of winning a prize, so the more you buy the more chance you have of winning something.

Now to the prizes. This is whats on offer so far, although this list may grow!:

[Bear]

This is a big thumbs up from me.
I donated $50 from the front page of the site but couldn't find any "Description" option.

[bluemk1]

si would it be better to donate straight to your account or use the paypal link for easier tracking?
i still have your bank account details, it would save on paypal fees. your call

[EXBEN]

Yes I believe it is preferable to donate direct to the ASF acc, listed in the members area or if your not a full paid up member you can email me or Si for the details.

[BANDITROD]

fucking excellent idea guys and ill take my triple clamps to suit gsxr750 K4 frontend in a bandit frame ben cheers

[RED ZX]

I want to do this through paypal and the donate button, but there is no description button?

[EXBEN]

Just reply here with what you've donated & I'll get Si to work it out;)
or if your shy you can email me with your number of entries.

Razorback, while I'm sure Si appreciates the donation I can't give you an entry for a $25 donation as this wouldn't be fair to everyone that is a paid member & has bought entries.
To be included in the draw you'll need to donate another $25 before the competition closes.

As a note to everyone, if you want to enter the competition please make donations of $50 (or multiples of $50) only.

[Ross_247]

Good Stuff Ben,

come Pay day Ill get a ticket. sounds good [:p]

[Gix11]

I am gob smacked by this support guys! Ben came to me with this suggestion a week or two ago and since then the prize pool just keeps getting bigger. I'd even enter myself if I could! (I know how good those triple are).

For those of you that didn't know I'll pipe up with what happened.....
Althought logistically the AFR was a great success and everyone who attended will vouch for that, the weather well and truly screwed us over. It's on record as the worst weather in many many years and although the hard core AFR fans still made the effort to get there the majority didn't. I know of at least one group of over 50 people that didn't bother coming because of the weather, and I have had 100's of people tellling me that they would have come but they thought the weather had cancelled it. So why didn't I cancel it? Simple, the insurance company we used did have a 'cancelled event policy' but they would not insure for events that had a budget of less than $100,000 to run, and seeing as how the budget was stretched to the absolute maximum at around $75,000 we were just screwed. I should also just mention that I forgot to add the price of alcohol to the final event cost so the final figure was actually $83,000.

The Saturday attendance was relatively good considering the weather, but the bar didn't get used half as much as we would have liked and the sunday attendance was way down (as the weather turned to shit). The final result? With days and days of calculations and working out what happened the final loss was $41,000, this was what I had to come up with and so of course my mortgage took a pounding.

I'm not complaining about it or giving up as the response about this year's event was far and beyond last year's and the result was spot on. We know where the problems stemmed from and we know how to make this work next year without losing, the only thing we don't have is my forgiving mortgage as that's the last I can draw on it, so without that I cannot commit to next year. So whatever you donate will go towards the rebuilding of the event. With your help and then attracting sponsors we hope we can make AFR10 happen.

I would like to thank everyone for their encouragement and support as it's you guys that make it worth while. And to all those other guys that are still contacting me saying they can add to the prize pool as well - thanks heaps!

kramdrallim, stu and davio from this topic: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=14957 I have already put your donations towards tickets guys so you're already in - and thanks again!

[Chris41]

Done.
I waited all year for this AFR and Hanging out for the next one.
The rain would have put a lot of casual riders off. It pissed down all week.

[RED ZX]

I have just done a direct deposit of $250 for 5 tickets, probably more than I can afford, but its not fair that this debt falls on one person.

Good luck with getting back into the black mate, and this competition reminds me why bike riders are some of the best people around.

[El_Hefty]

done a hopefully speltt 'safe owr ARF' right but ive got a couple of tickets coming my way ... paid through paypal... which i noticed youve set up for an automated 1 ticket only ...so i did it via your email address...

ive enjoyed it now for a couple of years and want to enjoy for years to come....

[DiscoDan]

Done. Hat's off to Ben, the Nerang Tyre boys and Sloth for tipping in

[KRASH]

I'm in for two guys...
Thanks heaps to everyone for giving up their time (and houses in Si's case) so we can have this event... I was looking forward to it right from the last one... and it didn't dissapoint...
THANKS
Tony and Di...

(two seperate PayPal donations...do you need the receipt numbers???)

[sharky]

2 for me...Done as bank deposit.

[Tony Nitrous]

Sorry Si, just bought a house and a bit cleaned out $$'s...:(

Only stretch to $100,(2 tickets) hope thats OK ?
Will find some more if i can.
(just did Bank Transfer, shout up ifit doesn't clear)

I did AFR's 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Looking forward to 6 in whatever form.

Keep up the good work Ben and all involved, and all who donate.
Your all top blokes.

done though it wouldn't let me use the underscore (_) so its just "M" but im sure you'll figure it all out.

[jakam04]

I understand it might be time consuming, but could we have an update on numbers of tickets left. No need to post names of who has put in for a ticket as some prefer the anonimous good samariton role.

[Phill]

Im In twice.

[LKC73]

Done! I havent been to one, but was planning on joining in on the fun at AFR10. I cant go if its not there. Im sorry but its only 2 tickets, but if there is any left next week on payday, I'll get some more.

By the way, is there a date on when its drawn, or is it going to be done when all tickets are sold?

[BillyWhizz888]

IN, like an old fart doing a burn out ;)

[Lucas]

Si and Ben, I'd like to donate a night with Large's mum. Word on the street is that she is just like a trailer, only she swallows...can't ask for much more than that :D


I've spent all my spare money on porn and rubber gloves so in place of buying a ticket or entering the comp I want to let members know that the Knuckleduster stickers http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15018 I've got for sale will be flowing directly into the ASF AFR fund. You can either transfer the funds to me and I'll get it to the nominated account or you can hit the donate button and pop it in there (hopefully Ben or Si will let me know if you pay via the donate link so I can get the stickers in the mail to you). If you donate through the site just be sure to pm me your address so I know where to send the stickers to.

I hope this is alright by you two Si and Ben?![:p]

I have never been to an AFR but would love to see it continue in the future.

Maybe we should do some fund raising to kick start a Kitty for next years AFR?? (after we help Si of course) Then It can be a finacialy indapendant event or at least be part paid for. This is a very big gamble for one person to take and as we can see from the posts there are a lot of people willing to help.

Cheers

[Boxer]

I signed up for the The SHAVE OUR ASS Competition, hoping I got it right!

[renegade]

As much as I wanted to make it i havent had a chance to get to any of the AFR's yet, so i will be absolutely kicking myself if this years ends up being the last one.
2 entries plus an extra $30 for full membership paid. hope it was ok to bundle that all together.
My money from K Rudd paid for what it needed to so i thought the least I could do is help stimulate Si's economy a bit (theres a joke there somewhere).
Keep up the good work lads.

[Hagarr]

Hey Si it would be nice if you could give us an update to your plight.

I don't mean an accountants report just simply to know if we need to donate any more.

Just say you're 20k short or something, I guess you know what i mean:D

As you have stated this has cost you personally and if we are able to help then we will help given that we all get something out of this site.

Si has said how much he lost.
If you go to the foot of the 1st post, Ben updates how many ticket's sold.
Tickets x $50 = total....;)

"82 ...as of 2:00pm 30/4/09" x $50 = $4100

[Gix11]

Sorry guys, long weekend and all.... I'm back and I'll update the ticket numbers on the first page now.

Once again, thanks to all!

[bluemk1]

just had a thought, what if we cant manage to sell all the tickets?

[BANDITROD]

then the comp will run till they are all sold

[Iceman]

Not a bad thing, the longer it takes, the more oportunities we budget orrientated (read as poor) people have to enter.

soon there will be more prizes than tix, not an entirely bad thing i guess, though i thought the idea was to raise money for you/next afr.

im happy to take the tripples, maybe if there was a nice exhaust in the prize pool that would be sweet too :D

oh and some new light weight wheels perhaps [8D]

[Gix11]

They're prizes donated from other guys wanting to help out. The more prizes the more chance you guys get for winning something back for your hard earned, the better I will feel. The support has been unreal.

Shaun does everything from custom exhaust building to show standard paint spraying. Check out his website at www.pommychoppers.com to see what you can have done with your $500 if you win the voucher.

hey guys like a tool i forgot to put those 3 special letters in the discription oh well

[TurboKat]

Has anyone else noticed that Stu (Ausfr) hasn't donated anything to this cause? I find it interesting (for want of a better word) that a bloke who's happy to take our money is seemingly not interested in giving anything back to the cause.
I've been hearing a lot of negative press about Stu for a while now, so Stu, now's your chance to prove you are a top bloke after all & show that you're not only interested in lining your own pockets with STREETFIGHTERS money but you are willing to look after the event & the STREETFIGHTERS movement in general.
