So this was talked about a while ago and I think it should be revisited. So we build these cars for all out speed and at times there not real pretty. So I think it would be cool to have a SHOW STOPPER awarded. Here how I'm thinking it should work. Say you race a car in the February race that car would then be eligible for the show stopper voting. If you want to enter it in for voting the builder would need to supply 2 pictures of the car, you will have a week after the race to get them posted. After the week to get them posted we'll set a poll that will be open for 2 weeks and the builder with the most votes win's. The prize will be a virtual trophy and a free next race entery for the winning car. The car can only win once per year. The builder with the most monthly wins at the end of the year will be crowned SHOW STOPPER BUILDER OF THE YEAR. I will have a sweet trophy made for the year end winner.
Good idea?
Dumb idea?
What would you change?

I got another idea not related to show cars that I'll throw out there in a few days, after we get some feedback on this one.

I love the Idea, it's really cool to see some of the amazing talents these guys have. This will encourage the bar to be raised. I do have a suggestion. I think the overall award should be based on a 6 month time or a series. Some new guys will want to earn this and they don't find out about racing til after scout season. If guys know they are out of the running might get less participation? Series champ?

What would the criteria be, paint, design, originality? A well executed, highly detailed pirate ship or more derby specific?

I think?

The criteria would be that the car has to race in the month it's competing in. Street rods can go up against Unlimiteds. The voting will be done by you the racers or members of the board.

Bulldog, it think your right about not having be the builder with the most monthly wins. How about the monthly wining cars will have a finials. After the man of the mountain until the first race of the season we' vote on the show stopper of the year? It can be awarded at the kick off race of next season. I wonder if there's a way you hide the poll results so no one knows until the announcement?

Jay, find the class that it fits the best in and run it in that. I can't wait to see that car in person!
