    Every year a decision is made for one or the other and every year someone doesn't like the decision. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Your input may or may not have an effect on the final decision but at least you'll have a voice. [​IMG]

    WERA has the FINAL word so you can lobby for your choice. [​IMG]

    You're asking, watch out. As of late, the BBSers are telling all JU, Pit Bull TRaxxion, Mongo and all else how they should run everything. You just opened up a BIG can of worms... let's see... trophies? plaques? superbowl-style rings? leather jackets? tattoos? trphy girls? and also, you should be at every event with an engraving machine... [​IMG]

    I'm not particular... unless 39 other guys crash I have little shot at the top three.

    Keep it the same as 2001.

    Mongo did a good thing in having a trophy for 1st, and non-disco-gold [​IMG] plaques for 2nd and 3rd.

    Why not top 5? So us losers from CCS can get 'em too.

    I like the trophies.

    I agree with Roach. I like the extra added incentive to finish 1st for the trophy instead of the plaque. Nothing like a couple plaques to motivate you to go for the trophy! [​IMG]

    I'm assuming this is for the Sportsman stuff and they will continue to give out those big ass trophies in the National series. [​IMG]

    i would like to have either. its been a long time. but i do have a disco wall.

    i like the top five thing to. it makes me feel a little better. it takes work to get into the top five in most classes.

    Stick, you couldn't finish top five in a race with four bikes [​IMG]

    I always liked the plaques. They took up less room. And you can stack'em up out of the way when you don't display them.

    On my Fireplace mantle I have a 1st Place Nat'l trophy, with a 2nd an 3rd Nat'l on each side and two Sportsman 1st's outside of that.

    It's a grand display that could not be duplicated with Plaques.

    And if you want a 4th or 5th place plaque, race CCS. [​IMG]

    If you didn't see it in the other thread, I don't have anything but 12mm washers. Sorry.

    I've got 8 trophies and 3 end of year certificates. They're all plaques. Look a little dull together. They are different colors though. [​IMG]

    While Mongo may have explained the reasoning behind that choice - he had nothing to do with the choice itself. That good call would be Evelyne, Emily, and Sharon along with Tony and 'Nisha....

    Lovely how some things are remembered [​IMG]

    Can't we do it for the new crop of novices, since they didn't get to survive it the first time? [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hey! Now there's a sandbagging deterent. Disco gold 1st place plaques for the amateurs. 2nd-5th get trophies. [​IMG]

    I kind of like the superbowl-style ring idea. Mainly because if I EVER win anything I'm going to brag about it until I die. [​IMG]

    Yo, Mongo, remember the idea that came up last summer about a "racers/workers only" jacket? As I reach daily for a coat to ward off the cold and deal with the "jones" I have for track time, I think that would be a cool thing to have.
