The 2 photos below on the left and middle are typical of the trophies/awards that will be awarded for 1st place in all of the 8 voted on categories of our car show competition on Saturday, May 3rd. The photo on the right is of the prize that will be given to each of the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in the 8 categories plus the Long Distance Award.
I want to give a BIG THANKS to fanatic "Furykay" (Kay) for making the arrangements and getting the trophies made for us.
I wanted trophies that were not the same run of the mill type car show stuff, but more unique.....like our SSRs deserve! (BTW, Kay has possession of the trophies and he will be bringing them to Maggie Valley. He told me that he will hopefully post additional photos next week.)
With as many of us as it looks like that will be there in Maggie Valley, and knowing many of the SSRs that will be there, I believe it's going to be great, very competitive, and hopefully we will all have a lot of fun with this. So because of the anticipated stiff competition, I wanted to reward not just the 1st place finishers, but 2nd and 3rd places as well. I decided that the SSR flashlights that fanatic "BUBEAR" (Mike) has recently been offering would be nice prizes for 2nd and 3rd. Mike was kind enough to let me get them from his company at his cost and free shipping to boot! Plus, Mike generously donated nylon carrying pouches for all of them. THANKS again, Mike!
As a reminder, the list of our car show competition categories is as follows:
1. Best of Show (the top honor)
2. Best Custom Paint (stripes, graphics, etc., but no flames)
3. Best Flames
4. Best Pinstriping
5. Best Interior
6. Best Engine Bay
7. Best Cargo Area/Display
8. Best Stock Wax Job (no custom paint, flames, or elaborate pinstriping)
The "Long Distance" awards are separate.
Let's get those imaginative and creative juices flowing, and let the "wax wars" begin!
Six weeks until.....let's get it on!!!!!
