The Fine Print (Rules & Restrictions): (Please Read)

Gift certificates cannot be used with other offers, they are actually coupons since you aren't buying them, and there is no cost to participate in this contest/promotion. THEY ONLY APPLY TO LIVESTOCK PURCHASES, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE PRIZE DESCRIPTION. THEY CANNOT BE USED FOR SHIPPING. The coupons can not be redeemed for cash. You are not actually betting, and this is not gambling. You do not need to wager any money, or make a purchase to participate in the race. This is merely a fun thing we do each year. This contest is void wherever prohibited. You must email us to claim the prize, we will not contact the winners, although we may post them. Things just get confusing with screen names vs. real names.


The race will be held on Friday May 29th. Good luck to all those that enter! Purchases made between now and then can take the benefit of a retroactively applied prize.

Details on the racers to follow. Last year's race had a lot of participation and we are looking forward to a good turnout this year. Last year we ended up freeing all the racers, and will likely do so this year, but the winner gets the best spot.

So how do I pick a snail? Do I have to pay to participate?

[lcstorc]

I wanna play.
Will you be posting video of the race? We have to make sure there is no chreating.

[johnmaloney]

yep video, (hopefully better quality than last time, lost a lot switching to YouTube format). I wanted to post a pic of the racers tonight, but I just got back from the Keys and the sun took it out of me... Amazing trip though.

do you pay to play. what are the odds?

[johnmaloney]

free to play, so it isn't really placeing a wager on your favorite snail, but it more fun to call it that for me at least. Anyone can play, when I post the pics tomorrow we will be taking bets. Odds are pretty bad for the trifecta an above I think, I hope so at least. The rest are easy, just about everyone won something last year, you get 5 chances tow in basically.

I just remembered this.
Did I miss the races?
