We're giving away a Slingshot and Need Suggestions on how to do it...

Put my name in the hat 40 times. I graciously accept.

So, that probably wasn't helpful.... @Tripod, can you help out?

Person with birthday closest to the mfg date.... price is right rules.....wins

I am soo winning this Chris! Mainly because of location and my perfect plan to eliminate contestants.

1) You ask the crowd, "Who here is Wolf on Slingshotinfo.com".

2) I accept my prize.

Alternately you could get a couple Matchbox car ramps. A big box of Matchbox cars(Slingshots would be awesome, haven't seen any though). People pick their race car and you can have one and done, two and done...elimination, depending on how long you need it to take.

I know there are companies that can put yours, I-Heart Radio's and the Slingshot logo on Matchbox cars. You could also just have one of our resident sticker guys make logos to go on them( @STYLN or @StickerDick). Could be a cool consolation keepsake for those that lose to mine.

the company I work for did a similar giveaway at the SEMA show three years ago.
My suggestion would be to have keys made (40) but only one of the keys cranks it. 39 almost correct keys 1 that works.

Make sure you make extra dummy keys and triple check that they do not work. You do not want to have two that work.
39 confirmed non-working keys and the one working key are place the in a bag and have the 40 people pull blind.

Tongues all stuck to a frozen steel bar.. Fastest 10 to rip loose, when signaled to do so, are qualifiers for the next round of games!

Rope off a large area and take said slingshot turn off traction control and see who can do the most consecutive doughnuts. Whoever does the most wins. Breaks in the motor properly. And really who doesn't want to watch a slingshot burn rubber. Crowd pleaser for sure.

A marina/radio station/dealer did something similar here a couple years ago.... it was very anti-climatic when the first one that pulled the key worked, i know the odds of that are high but it does ruin the whole contest for a lot of people since " you don't get your money's worth of entertainment"

You could have everyone put their name in a hat, then remove one slip of paper at a time. If the name wasn't "FUNINTHESUN", you draw another slip of paper. What time shall i be there Chris?

Damn that's a hell of a giveaway.

People divided in groups, they have to do something quick (either in groups or individually), such as build a Lego slingshot, or build a high structure using a set group of materials (toothpicks, straws, etc)... Pick the top 3 or so and then do the key thing with those that remain...

Or because it's February... Cupid's Slingshot... Shoot a Slingshot (rubberband type) at red, pink, white balloons on a large board with a key in each balloon (or some keys and some with chocolate or whatever)... Those with keys stick around to try and win...

Grab a couple kiddie pools, make numerous fake keys and hide them within about 5 kiddie pools of jello, mud, slime or whatever. Make the actual slingshot key the one they have to find. You get a show while they are trying to find the key. Do like 8 people per kiddie pool and let them go wild. Or you could have a gold key in each of the kiddie pools and the top 5 do a radio station quiz to win overall.

Low Octane Racing
32 contestants draw numbered poker chips out of a bucket.
In numerical order each person picks a new in package Hot wheel car. .
1 vs 32, 2 vs 31, 3 vs 30 etc.
Highest number calls coin flip for track choice.
2 identical tracks come off a podium and drop, running across the floor.
Winner of each drag race advances to next round.
Don't forget the high speed camera at the finish line for close finishes and a giant monitor for all to see.
Should last just over an hour if each race takes a couple of minutes.
Last winner gets a Hot wheel..... Well and the Slingshot.

Give them all swords and play Highlander.

There can be only one...

SHHH.....could everyone just quite down for a while??!!! I'm working on my acceptance speech thankyouverymuch!!!!

Its called "Sit your ass in a sling". Pick a start line 4 foot from the Slingshot, time people on getting to the vehicle, sitting in it and latching the seat belt. Then unlatching, getting out and back to the start line. You have a Judge sitting in the passenger seat to verify the seat belt get latched. If you have ever seen someone try to get in and out of a slingshot in a hurry, its hilarious. Make sure they sign a waive.

I like the concept @DuaneIndy. I just don't want people breaking stuff on MY new Sling. Not to mention all those dirty asses, so many dirty asses.

great idea but they have to be careful legally speaking. Let's say one of us old guys are one of the 40. Some young 20something would be quicker.... Then you would have a discrimination lawsuit on you hands.... We are a protected class you know...
