Auction for one of Scooter's Bub photo books
« on: March 10, 2012, 02:52:23 PM »
So I'll start an auction for one of Scooter's books, personalised for you (assuming you've run at Bub's since he started taking photos and has one of you).  This here will make for the official announcement.  How 'bout letting it run 'til next Saturday - that's a week for everyone that might want an in on it to see and bid.  Start at $25, okay?

Scooter has some other ideas about maybe a photo shoot of the winner of a different auction (NOT THIS ONE), but that's wait for a while - don't want to wear out the welcome of the site.

Have at it, boys and girls. cheers

OK, for those who have never seen one of the books it is a hard cover book, about 150 pages and over 325 images from the BUB event. There are images of bikes at speed, the pits and the volunteers. It also has a complete listing of all the FIM and AMA records that were set at the event.
As I have said many times, the book is not really about NOW, it is about years from now when we can't get back to the Salt and our grandchildren want to know what it was like when we were at the Salt.
This is the only record of it's kind in Land Speed racing and maybe in motorsports. All the proceeds from this auction go directly to www.Landracing.com to whom we all owe a huge debt for keeping us all up to date on the many venues that support our sport.
So bid away my salty friends.

Well, okay then.  It's been a week since I started this auction for one of Scooter's books, and it's been since Monday that the thread has been pretty much quiet.  So - - if you want one last think about it and then decide you want your personal Bub's book - with your photo on the cover if Scooter's got one of you -- then today's your last chance to bid.  Remember -- it's a donation to help keep the website running as well as to help Scooter build an even bigger audience for his work. 

When I get the 'puter running in the morning I'll see who's the winner and announce it and stop things right there, hokey-dokey?  Thanks to all that have offered up a bid, of course.
