    What Trophies and Awards do We Want?

    How generous we can be with them will first depend on trophy costs, and how much money we have to work with. More discussion is necessary as to what we want to award them for.
    The easy one is MX, and I think going back 2 or 3 places in each class, and something for every one of the kids who participate is in order.
    For drags Im thinking maybe we can just end it with a quick runoff of the fastest guys (by then we will know who has a shot at it, no need to run everybody for runoff) which shouldnt be more than three or four runs at best, and go out to the top 3, 4 or 5 maybe.
    Howdy had mentioned something about the best show and the craziest rider at the drags. Im not sure if they would not be one in the same. Im kind of thinking maybe it should be not just the drags, but maybe for the weekend rather than just the drags. It could be voted by everyone after the Swinehart feast at the pavillion on Saturday eve. I was thinking along the same lines as showmanship, which could be for anything that happened at Trikefest, on the trails, tracks, or wherever. Ive got a feeling the craziest rider is also most eligible for this one. Maybe "most memorable trike incident" for that "guy who did something we will never let him forget." I also think that since this is also about trike history that we should do a few bike show awards. I was thinking nicest orginal trike, (orginal means as it came from the factory) and nicest non-original trike which would cover those ones with all the chrome, fancy rims, and other external modifications. This too could be voted by all the people attending.

    I considered making an "Armchair Racer" award but nobody wants to win that one!

    how about a planned wheelie contest just for $#!^ 's and giggles,maybe just a plaque
    for that,or just braggin rights.also i think that a certificate of participation for the kids
    that join in on the mx races would be great.of course trophies for the top 3,but if we have more kids than that they should get a certificate.now on the king of the hill how will you vote,by who climbed it easiest,fastest,or what.i'm kinda confused there,maybe for that we can do a stopwatch timed run.but i don't think climbing is about how fast
    you can get up the hill,but more about how you attack hill,the lines you choose,and how challenging it was for that individual.thats a hard one to vote.



    other then those suggestions i think you guys are doing awesome,thanks for doin this

    It will be easy enough to vote on. There will be someone that does something spectacular, don't worry.

    You know, I thought I should chime in here - being that I am going to win most of them and all. I prefere large, heavy and expensive please . Thank you.


    ... ah yes .... I like alot of Derrick's ideas ......... definitely some non-race trophies should be in there, thats VERY cool in my book. I would however like to add in one for "Fastest Polaris" or at least "Fastest Automatic" (ha ha), since I'm 99% sure I'll at least win that since I'm also 99% sure I suck at MX.
    how about a planned wheelie contest just for $#!^ 's and giggles
    .... you might as well just engrave Tri-Z Jim's name on it now ...........

    I love this idea. How about making the most memorable moment award be a web vote from the year befor? I think that would keep some people coming back (not that they don't already).
    I agree w/ Wickedfinger, put Zjims name on the wheelie/ bicycle award. I got a auto for you Wickedfinger on the strip LOL.

    You know, everytime I say that, theres always somebody who shows up with nitros or an 80hp Stage 4 400L.

    I would kind of also like to see a "Longest Distance Traveled" award, as a plaque.

    I like the idea of longest distance traveled, too. Those guys really deserve recognition!

    TriZ-Jim will have to do it on his TriZ though!
