Care to guess how many submissions there were?

[kach22i]

I don't have the answer, but I'm guessing at some point it will be announced.

If they received 1,400 (oops) over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, then what might the total be?

EDIT: If they received 140 over the Memorial Day holiday weekend, then what might the total be?

My guess is 4231 (double oops) entries and 995 entrants (triple oops) (avg. 4.25 submittals each).

What is your guess?

[Steve91T]

I had no idea there were that many. Those guys are going to be busy!

[keys2heaven]

And they have 10 days to come up with their picks? Ugh.

[kach22i]

I cannot seem to find the 1,400 over the weekend quote. If someone else can remember it and find it, please post.

I'm just trying to console myself prior to the fact.

[thebeerbaron]

yeah, I think you added a zero there..




I must say that the flow of contest entries has EXPLODED this week. I got more than 140 this weekend from places as far as Cairo, Egypt and as close as Orlando, Florida.

I guess that's why I could not find the quote, had the wrong number, and the wrong forum.

At this time I'd like to take a zero out of all my predictions.:o

Maybe the chances are not that all dismal after all.:D

Thanks for the quote. I make mistakes, but I also like to be quick to correct them.

[Kalstar]

It would be possible to publish the list of participants?
I have not received any notification that I have entered the contest.

No one has, the bus driver has your life in his hands...........just pray he is having a good day.:)

According to Tom Heath on the GRM forums who is organizing all the entries:

"More than 700 submissions from almost 400 entrants."

Could be the cat just managed to sneak a paw out of the bag.................!

[keys2heaven]

That darn cat.

Several different bodies? Hmmmmm, seem to recall that cropping up in a post or two.

World car? Hmmmm, perhaps several body styles that reflect trends from around the world.

For example:

818 Drift (Nimble...think SpeedBoy or even the Carve)
818 Euro (Sleek & sexy...think SW1)
818 ProAm (Street/Track...think Xabier's 818-R)

The joker got closest.

I want you with me at the horse track to help place my bets.;)
