Default Who got a golden ticket?

So, I see that people who flew over the holiday weekend are eligible for a golden ticket and allows them to choose from some really nice items. Like basically if you picked up a green slip over the holiday you get a $300 YETI cooler bag on top of it?!?! Is that sort of circumventing the compensation section of the PWA?

I heard they’re giving out Mazda MX-5s.

For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s a sports car.

They call them Miatas in the underground street racing crowd.

I'm holding out for a used Ferrari. F430 seems like a reasonable option. I'd opt for the Ferrari California, but real sports cars are mid-engine. Yes, I'm aiming at you 911 with the motor hanging off the bumper.

I didn't get anything, so it must be BS.

I keep hearing people use these words. I'm curious what that actually means. YETI bags might seem cool to some, but when your boat has an ice maker...meh. What are some of the actual options?
