SCCA Awards Banquet ????

[POS Racing]

Gosh, Rich - that'd really suck....getting overlooked when trophies were being handed out

He's used to it by now. :P

That's gotta hurt!

[Kestrel]

No, I don't get enough trophies to be used to being overlooked yet. I think I only earned one ER event trophy last year. I guess I'm sorta like Matt Kennseth -- never/rarely winning individual races, but getting enough points to do OK by year end (if you can call 4th place OK ).

General Default, on the other hand, never picks up his trophies. He has so many, they just aren't important anymore. And besides, there's probably no more room in his trophy case

Well they are trying to work a compromise out for the awards.

email your name to Joyce McKinstry and she will put you on
the '$20 at the door list'.

Also...
I am making certificates to hand out to the award winners.
I have the tools and a really GOOD color printer that will print on
good quality paper. Total cost is about $2 a piece. Everyone who
trophied for the year should come and pick it up. It will be VERY nice,
because I am 'pretty' good at these things.

So if you show up you can still get something to look at until you get the big award. Joyce's e-mail address can be found on this page.

Hmm...

• money given at the door for award winners: $20
• Cost to get in at the door for the event: $25

Y'know, let me save Joyce the trouble. She can just paypal the twenty bucks to "iain at S-two-thousand dot org", instead of holding it at the door for me.

I belive something may have been lost in the translation.

If I understand this correctly they have reduced at the door price from $25.00 down to $20.00 per person, and you will receive at no additional charge a printed certificate of achievement, instead of the trophy that one would normally receive but that are "not quite" ready!

Is that the case???

Cost to run a season of SCCA regional events: $175

Cost to get in the awards ceremony to not pick up your trophy: $25

Still not getting your trophy after 2 months of waiting: Priceless

Sorry Ruth, I just caught that one... Good one

For those of you , I announced the Stock Class trophy winners at the ER Awards Banquet... and skipped over Ruth's 1st place in ASL.

And probably thought that'd be the last he'd hear about it.....

Hey folks, this may be a bit late, but if you can make it, please show up for the banquet. The reservation cards were late being sent, so it's 20 bucks for anyone who shows up. The trophies will be presented at the solo board meeting, and at the first event in March. We all know there have been some communication problems in the past year, and this is only one example. We are hoping to get the new season off to a better start, as well as mend fences with the folks who run Texas Region SCCA, which consists mostly of those involved in racing and Rally. They have heard our complaints and advise they really want to work with us. I also expect the solo organizers to present a more friendly and better organized atmosphere to play in.
As for solo event organization for the coming season, I think you will find it improved over the past year, and hopefully, the 3 runs and you're out format will be gone entirely. Some of you have been extremely helpful in keeping events running smoothly, and I hope we can count on your expertise in the coming season...
Thanks for your assistance in past seasons...

Anyone go?

[OzCop]

I went, and it was a pretty good banquet. The certificates Phillip made up were nicely done on 8.5x11 card stock, using 3 or 4 different colors. Those will also be available with the trophies when you pick them up.

The speaker was a great guy, an artist who has been around racing since the 50s, and is a native of DFW. He has painted several famous race drivers and their cars, both still and in competition. Had lots of paintings of Carol Shelby, Bob Bondaurant, Phil Hill, and many others on a slide program, and gave an anecdotal account of each painting. One of the more interesting speakers SCCA has had to address the banquet in recent years...Bill Neale is his name.

The food was much better than the past also...

Sorry many of you missed it....

[tailchaser]

Was there fine print somewhere that said Bill Neale was speaking? Knowledge of things like that might draw a better crowd in the future.

Sadly, though, I had other commitments and was stuck being a good husband. Got to save up my tokens for autocross season.
