I think the league gives out to many virtual badges. Winners already get a “Stir Stick” and car pictures posted on Facebook along with a virtual badge to recognize their wins. Badges are given for just about everything including speed badges and track record badges we even have a master list of all the racers who earned sub badges.

I think I’d like a few badges for all of the times I’ve finished last in BASX. I may have the record on the most last place finishes. 🙂

The car count badges and NPWDRL MOTM badges attached to the avatars are cool.

Whats next? Participation badges and awards? I like the badges for wins and track records.

We are going to start erasing yours one by one when you don't win!

Considering that Cranes badges take up a whole page for one post, I'm thinking maybe just put a link to view his badges. Lol.

I think a “game changer” badge would be cool. They wouldn’t come around very frequently, but when someone clearly has found significant repeatable speed in their prep or speed in their innovations doing things that haven’t been seen before, etc...

You can hide them if you feel they are taking up too much space. Edit your profile, in the settings section, turn off the show signatures setting.

It was a joke not an annoyance. He is an accomplished racer and should show off all of his badges. Thanks for the tip I am turning yours off now. lol. jk

This is from a new persons perspective so please keep that in mind. I like the idea that sub badges really mean something. They should be an achievement of some sorts. I would also add that the first level of a badge should be something that is attainable by someone that is newer to the sport but puts in some time and effort.

By having an attainable goal when a person first joins or decides to try another class, they have something to shoot for. If they can reach this goal, it might well keep them interested in racing or in the new class. Again, this is from someone who doesn't even have a badge yet. 😕
