I would volenteer to get prices, order, and deliver the trophies.
Everyone make suggestions for classes.
Popular voting always seems to work good. Everyone gets a ballot in there prepaid entry. We set up a drop box and everyone votes for what they like.

On the pre-paid entry subject. We could class the cars when we receive the entry form. I'm sure we don't need more that 4 or 5 classes.

Yarooon, Are you suggesting we get trophies like the one you posted? I saw the picture but I didn't see why you posted it.

If i'm on someones toes just tell me you have it covered.

EDIT:

I just went and read Ya roons post on the trophies. How many do you think we'll need? I have a friend that works in a custom cabinet shop. I know I can get him to do some one off wood bases. I've done some sand blasting stencil work on glass. I think I could enlist my build crew to make a nice custom trophy.

Plaques and stuff shouldn't bee too hard.

If i'm on someones toes just tell me you have it covered.

On the Long Distance awards .....
Maybe different classifications like.....
Long distance Overseas.
Long distance America.
Long distance 914 (on a trailer)
Long distance driving a 914.

Will we also want to do trophies for different classes in the Auto-X ?

Are the trophys just going to be for the winner in the different classes or will there be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards?

I'll add it to my original post.

Thanks

Should we have a class for the LE's and Specials It may make it nice to give them some special recognition separate from the 4 cylinder class.

Anyone on good terms with George? How about tsisting his arm with a promise of a class for the best 916 in Show? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We could also distiguish between 4s and 6s but it really depends on who's coming out.

FYI: I wanted to tell you guys about how things run around here. My 16 yr old son Aric has two friends that kind of live here. They were over last night and we had a planning meeting about 12:30 am. I spoke with one of the friends mom yesterday about him getting out of school early for the event. She ok with it as long as his grades are on track and the school will go along with it. They are committed to keeping the grades inline and doing everything I ask to make this happen.

The only way this is going to work is if I drive out by myself and fly the crew (which consists of my 16 yr old son, his two 17 yr old friends, my 14 yr old son, and my wife) out one way later. I will need to pick them up at the airport on Thursday night. My wife actually seems ok with the whole idea too. So keep your fingers crossed for me and the boys.

The trophy build may become school credit. All the boys go to a forward thinking Charter School.

In any event they are ready to work!

If we can help pick folks up the airport, or find a decent hotel, let me know.

With the trophies, when can they start? How many would be a reasonable amount to pass out? How can we incorporate newer folks to AXing?

Rich,

Since it sounds like you will be building the thropies...

What you wanna do?
Do you have a possibility to engrave the acrylic?
Nicest / easiest would be if we can have the acrylic engraved by someone who has a computer controlled "engraver"
I can make the logo's and text for the trophies and just e-mail the files

Another option that I know will look good (did it before) is to have the logo / text cut in vinyl stickers as a mirror image and stick these on the back of the acrylic
Silver vynil or matte clear vynil (looks like it's etched) will look very good.
Again, it's fairly easy / cheap to have these stickers cut

cheers,

Jeroen

Thanks, I will have a better idea after the weekend. I thought about using a stencil and sand blasting the Acrylic panel.
Maybe from the back side. Then add the event plaque idea or design you have posted in the logo thread to the wood or possibly aluminum base. Any idea's you have are more than welcome.

If you go for the sandblasting route, you could use a vinyl sticker as a stencil
I can design these and e-mail you the files
Take the files to a vinylcutter / shop and they can cut you the stickers/stencils

Lemme know if you wanna try it and I'll mail you...

cheers,

Yes, I want you to do the design work. You decide what font type and graphics you want. I will post an organized list of classes this weekend. We can decide on the size of the Acrylic together.

Do you think we should use the event logo on the base? When we have all the info and design work done send me what you have to my personal email with instructions..

Thanks Rich and Jeroen for working through these issues and coming up with a great awards program. And for offering to build them. I hope it wont detract too much from Project Alien Rich, to do all this. Please let me know what expenses you will have (even an estimate) for the awards and art work so that you are reimbursed.

I would propose to keep the categories more minimal than too many. Everyone will get something to take home with them, but if we only have 50 914s we cant have 75 awards... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I think we all agree that most awards should be determined by popular vote so we will also need voting cards in the goodie bags.

I propose something like:
* Best 914/4
* Best 914/6
* Best 914/8
* Trickest 914 modification (non-racecar)
* Best 914 Racecar
* 914 Tech Quiz winner
* People's Choice Overall Best of WCC 2004
* AX classes TTOD, Best Improved Time, and Cone King

Thats 10 trophies, about one for every 3-4 attendees.

I think I would...scrap the long distance awards, at least as trophies...we all know who will take those...and it adds several trophies to make. Maybe as certificates? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Also I think all the awards should indicate the WCC 2004 Event Name, logo and the 914Club and be of excellent quality. These will be keepsakes.

Let me know what you guys decide and how things go. It looks great so far. If you need my help just ask. My cell number is on the event staff page, by my name.
