  • Individual Event Class Awards

    It's early days, but next year's season will be here before we know it!
    This year we switched from Class Win plaques at each event to Class Win stickers.
    I've received quite a variety of feedback on this issue.
    So....What do you think?

    Plaques again for individual event class wins? Stickers? Medals? Trophies?
    Something different?

    Budget will be taken into account as well, but I'd like to know what you think.

    Thanks!

    I threw out all of my old trophies.. but scraped off the small engraved plaques with the actual wording and kept those.

    medals would be cool.. (about 2" in diameter, and highly stylized engraving, none of that cheap stuff)

          Unofficial poll:

          Laurels, ummm no.
          Trophies, take up too much space.
          Plaques, see trophies.
          Medals, sure they're not expensive.
          Stickers, hell no.

              Competing in various disciplines for 10 years or so, my plaques are in a box (except for one or two special events), my trophies are on a shelf that my wife resents, and I have a couple of medals hanging off a book shelf. The stickers are a unique idea that I kind of still like for class win. I haven't done anything with those yet either... I was going to put them on my laptop, but... I'll only have that another year or two. Was going to put it on the cage bars... but that's extra weight.

              Out of all of them.... stickers or plaques make the most sense to me for EVENT CLASS wins. You can finish a basement wall in plaques. Unless someone is wearing their medals around on a daily basis...?

                Real racing drivers put them in a scrap book Stephen.

                  what if they're made as key-chains? could be any shape too.

                    Personally I really like the stickers. I only won one (the only event Greg didn't show up for) but you bet it is on my car and on my helmet. Plaques just take up space and trophies even more.(they also cost a lot more money). Medals? Like where am I going to wear them?? And what happens if,(as unlikely it may seem) I win a number of them? Can't wear them all. Also the stickers onmy helmet might give me more ice racing street cred.........well maybe.

                          You don't have to wear medals. And you don't have to put stickers on your helmet or car. Don't let them make you!

                            Does OTA still have a photographer at every event? How about a picture of the event winner's car with the class, lap time, and name edited on? Not sure this could all be done in the last 30 minutes of the day, but it could be brought to the next event.

                              I like this idea, in Karting we had this for did this for fastest qaulifier at regional events. However I know we didn't have a photographer at our events this year nor do I know what it would cost
