Attn Rallycross participants, your input needed...

[Subie Gal]

The gang at ORG (Oregon Rally Group) are trying to decide what kind of year end trophies/awards we'd like to see for the top 3 finishers in each class.

I thought you guys may like to have a voice in this... here's a quote from the original mail:

> So, we have ONE event left for the 2000 Oregon Region RallyCross Series,
and I need some help deciding what to do for the Series champions.
>
> Do I go with some VERY nice trophies for the champs and forget about
second, third and the rest of the "also rans"?
>
> OR
>
> Do I go with NICE trophies for the champs and a plaque of some sort for
second and third?
>
> OR
>
> Do I go with decent trophies for the champs, and then go at least three
deep and up to six deep with plaques, depending on class size?
>
> OR
>
> Do I forget about trophies and just give away a stack of dead presidents?
>
> OR
>
> Do I forget about trophies for the SUBARU (PGT) class and let the Suby
Club figure out what to do for themselves?
>
> OR
>
> ???? Give me some ideas folks. These are going to be your
trophies/whatever, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.
>

please post your opinions here... I'll forward on your replies to the board...

i know this doesn't affect me but from my rallying days, when you get old and crinkly its always great to be able to look on your trophy cabinet and see all the 2nd's and 3rd's you achieved.

Sometimes those mean more than the wins because of the effort behind them.

The guys with the 1st's tend to be quite regular winners and dont always show off their trophies as you would expect.

Spread the awards around a bit is my opinion, makes more people happy and helps keep the memories alive.

Do I go with NICE trophies for the champs and a plaque of some sort for
second and third?

This seems the best to me

Personally I say spread it around a little too, gives everyone more of a chance to take something home

[MaddMaxx]

I'm for spreading the awards because everyone has a bad day once in a while ( some more than others) and it feels good to take home something and the end of the day other than a very dirty car. I've always been happy with the way awards are handed out in Pro Rally, 1st through 3rd in class, and 1st through 3rd overall. Though the current program in Rallycross seems pretty fair.

I think most people will agree with whatever you decide on, after all you race with everyone else and it's not like you've been dominating field (soon enough though you probably will!).

we are talkin about the END OF THE SEASON awards here for the 1st 2nd and 3rd place FINISHERS overall...

i think trophy for #1 and plaques for 2 and 3....
