Default Turbonetics Open House Results & PICTURES!!!!

I just wanted to thank everyone who came out and made the event what it was. I wish I had the time to meet all of you but as I'm sure anyone who was there can attest we were all a little busy. Congrats go out to the two lucky kit winners but I think EVERYONE had a chance to win something great. To Scott our VIP winner and his friend I hope you guys had a GREAT time at the event and of course the night before :D There should be a nice gallery of pictures to share very soon. If you have some yourself please feel free to post them here. Again congrats go to everyone for making this a great event!!

well i had fun, but what i am learning is that it was BS.

first off two automatic tC owners won...one with a red ticket, and one with a white. automatics shouldnt have had two tickets in the first place, only one cuz that gave them twice the chance and what do you know...two autos won.

second, one of the guys who won the turbo didnt even have his car present, he was involved in a "hit and run" so he didnt have his car, but was close enough to the event to participate. wtf? who gave him a white ticket to begin with.

we are all very grateful for everthing...but turbonetics, thats BS

I wasn't aware of that and I don't know if Tyler was either. I'm sorry the results were not to your liking but despite I'd say Turbonetics provided all kinds of opportunities to win something not to mention free grub, two dyno session of their test Tc, and all around a fun day. Every effort was made to be fair and provide everyone a good, fun atmosphere..

i agree, it was fun. the crowd was cool, but i think the drawing was BS, not that because i didn't win, but that how can 2x auto win? one auto to win was a given as they needed a R&D, but now it looks rigged because they can have 2 for R&D instead of 1.

i will be buying a kit from else where because of this, sorry to be so hateful, but this kind of scheme from a reputable company is just disappointing.

Me and my girl had an awsome time. We saw hot cars. Saw an awsome company with great turbo kits and knowledgeable turbonetics workers. Other than that it was awsome that turbonetics feds us and gave away cool prized to many people. Cant wait til' the next event.

Thanks to those with the kind words. I know we all had a blast having everyone there. Let me apologize for those who think the raffle was "rigged" that was CERTAINLY not the case.

Come on guys. We all know the drawing was not rigged. Everyone there had a chance to win a free turbo. Autos had a chance to let Turbonetics take there car from them for a month. haveing someone else work on there car and in the end getting a turbo that has been put on and taken off the car 4 or 5 times. Its far from a free turbo if you ask me. It might be worth it but even at that we all had the same chance to win the truely free turbo.

Oh and they dont have 2 auto TC's to do the R&D the grand prize winner gets nothing till they finish the auto kit and then they will send him the kit.

Dont be haters guys Turbonetics could not take the chance to win a free kit away from an auto guy just because they needed to pick a person to R&D on. But the guy that won the auto R&D was out of the drawing for the free kit.

Why didn't they separate the Auto drawing from the Manual drawing? You know, like all Auto people draw from this basket, and only manual drivers draw from this basket. I wasn't there, but that seem to be the way to set it up, if you didn't want two of the same trannies winning.

Well they did do a drawing for Autos only for the R&D car. Again every effort was made to make it fair to everyone. All I can do is apologize if the results were not what was expected. Turbonetics sincerely wanted to make this a fun event and give everyone a chnace to win some REALLY great prizes. All in all I felt it was a great day. I got to meet a lot of you guys from the boards and thats something that rarely happens...
