Thanks to all for your efforts. Keep up the good work. I turst Jeroen will have the registration page done soon to go public. One of the details yet to be resolved are the awards classes. Joe (914RS) volunteered to make the trophys. Since we will probably have a small turn out (in relation to the WCC), I don't know if standard classes are appropriate for the awards - best 4, best 6, best conversion, etc. I would like to see as many different people as possible win something. What do you think of the idea of being creative and having some fun with the awards classes? For example: #4 Memorial - the lowest VIN for any year. (#036 from '76 would beat #099 from '71) Long Distance - the person who drove the longest way to the event. Best of Show - gotta have something for the nicest car. Trunk Monkey - most unusual item in trunk / glove box / console. Frank Sinatra - "I did it my way" - most unconventional repair or modification Rip It Up - most rips and tares in seats and cracks in dash. Light It Up - for special interior / exterior lights or lenses. Crank It Up - for the loudest exhaust or loudest stereo. Turn It Over - for the odometer showing the highest numbers. Best NARP - a class for those who come without a 914. Be Prepared - for the person who has the most spare parts and tools.

I have seen it tried several times before. Only once do I remember anybody actually bringing a photo. I do like the idea of one of the awards being given to someone without a 914. There must be some way we can have a contest for the other vehicles.

He says he can not log on to this forum. He forgot what the password is. I did too (but the cookie remembers for me). Can someone please send him a PM with the password to this RRC forum. We need his help. He is our trophy guy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I like John's ideas for nontraditional classes. I'm having a 'Best RS' award made, but I'll just hang that one in the garage before I leave the house. I agree that we should keep it to eight classes or less. Think how bad it would be if nine cars showed up and only one person went home empty handed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I like: Best in show Longest drive Frank Sinatra Best non-NARP Golden Wheelbarrow (Scott Thatcher award for driving a POS) Pimpmobile (most bling) and Best RS (taken (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) ) I'll take suggestions for style of trophies (plaque, regular, etc).

914 Wizard Group: Members Posts: 11,624 Joined: 30-December 02 From: Colorado Member No.: 47 Region Association: Rocky Mountains	please bring the best RS award along... I think it would be hilarious... regarding styl of trophy. I kind of like the non traditional ideas... what about an engraved tool, a custom vinyl decal, a flashlight, an emergency 914 breakdown kit, or something useful. and I'm fine with traditional too... and certainly not trying to make more work out of it. Depending upon the cost, we need to factor the trophy fee's into the entry fee. So far Joe, we think that the 3 meals will be near 55 bucks and thought the entry fee would be best kept low at around 60. Is that enough for trophys? worst case senario like you said would be 8 people, and not much money for trophys but Joe, I'm totally ok with doing what ever you decide. I say if your willing to go through with all of the hassle, trouble, and personal time to tackle this project... then pick a trophy style you like and we will do it ! brant

I always liked awards that are made from car parts. Gears, pistons, rods, etc.
Maybe you could weld something up from some spare parts you have laying around.
Paint 'em, mount 'em, add an engraved plaque . . . whatever.

OK, this would save money. We need to pick the appropriate parts for each award and then get donations, because I've sold all my /4 parts and Liz won't want me submitting any of her new parts.

Plaques for the parts would be relatively cheap and easy.

Suggestions on parts please.

I think I have some old transmission gears/sliders/etc I know I have some titanium valve retainers with lightening holes drilled in them trying to remember what else.... could use bolts and junk welded together to form something weird.... going from Joe's list... what would the ultimate part be for each of those types of awards?

I came up with one:

I have an old Scirocco II 8-spoke VW wheel we could use for non-NARP.

Even cheap tools are hardened. Engraving would not be easy.

Best in show- A real plaque with a Porsche hood crest
Longest drive- A worn out brake rotor
Frank Sinatra- Modify something in a crazy manner with my welder (suggestions)
Best non-NARP- The Scirocco wheel
Golden Wheelbarrow (Scott Thatcher award for driving a POS)- Cut a medium-sized, recognizable rusty piece from a parts chassis.
Pimpmobile (most bling)- A VW logo off a bus on a gold chain
and Best RS (taken (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) )- A new plasma cutter

Just some suggestions.
