At this time, there are NO plans for a "Motor Fest" in Auburn this year. The folks involved worked their a** off last year on the Central National Meet. They're taking a year off. There possibly could be one in 2011, but nothing firm yet. Stay tuned!

After looking at a ticket for the flathead engine that is being raffled off by the Foundation.....YES THERE WILL BE A MOTORFEST IN AUBURN THIS AUGUST OF 2010. Now, how do I know that -- since the Foundation does not want to break the law -- I know that for these reasons as found on any official state raffle rules page. Tickets sold, must have the following information on them: Listing of the prizes Organization name Price of the ticket Sequential numbering if needed A detachable stub with the same eequential number and................ the time, date, and location where the winner(s) will be selected. Now check your engine tickets -- it says: Winner to be drawn at Auburn Motor Fest August 2010 Guess that tells me that either the current tickets are void if drawn at a different location, or that this August there will be an event in Auburn IN. See you in Auburn............

I want to correct some errant information that has appeared here in this chain: RAFFLE ENGINE: When the raffle tickets were printed in early 2009, plans were to award the engine during Motorfest 2010. However, the same core of volunteers that host the Motorfest were working on the 2009 Central National Meet. At that meet, the decision was made there would be NO Motorfest 2010 since the volunteers wanted to take some time off. Attendees at the meet were notified. Subsequently, the FOUNDATION NEWS, the FOUNDATION Website and EVERY issue of the V-8 TIMES, starting with the Sep/Oct 2009 issue through the Jan/Feb 2010 issue, clearly state the engine WILL BE AWARDED AT HERSHEY 2010. When tickets were sold, the buyers were told this. If the buyer placed his contact information on the back of the ticket portion returned to the Foundation and they are the winner, they will be the proud owner of this great engine in October, 2010.* AUBURN AUCTION: Foundation Trustee Ron Stauffer is downsizing his collection of Fords and other marquees as well as some petroliana. The following from the Vanderbrink Auction website: The Stauffer V-8 Collection! Fabulous Collector Cars, Pickups, Parts, Gas Pumps, & More! Date: Saturday, September 11, 2010 Time: 11:00 AM Location: 7780 S. US 27, Portland, IN 47371 Contact: Yvette VanDerBrink 507-673-2517 or 605-201-7005 VanDerBrink Auctions 507-673-2517 605-201-7005. Among the items will be the 1932 BB Ford flatbed truck, formerly from Greenfield Village Ron generously donated to the Foundation. ALL proceeds from the sale of this truck will go to the Foundation. It sounds like a great collection of automotive stuff. Plan to be there! 2011: Don’t put away those V-8s just yet. There is something BIG planned for them and you in Auburn in 2011. An announcement will be made soon. (* If there is a legal issue on the “Motorfest 2010” drawing date printed on the ticket, the winning ticket will be drawn at the August work party at the museum by Foundation Trustees and the winner will have his engine TWO months earlier! While it won't be a Motorfest, you're certainly to come and bring your work clothes and join a great gang of V-8ers building something for future generations! Discounts on rooms and food. Dates and details will be on the Foundation website soon.) Hope this clears this all up This message was edited by v8teditor on 2-22-10 @ 9:56 AM
