Best Lapper? Hopefully with the driver practice this weekend, 1646 will get their lap average back up to where it was at the end of the year.

Andy,

this trophy is pure Epic Win. Beautiful. Please just make sure that the shipping box for Arefin has lots of foam and bubblewrap.

Have fun at IRI everyone. I'll be watching.

we thought we would just put a tie strap around one of the trophies, and let them wear it on their heads....

or, maybe something like a bucket hat ....

[joshsmithers]

That is amazing. But I just gotta know, who is sallie?

[Akash Rastogi]

just wondering, what do the scholarships entail?

According to this you missed one.

The Rookie Award
This award celebrated the best all around rookie team (new to competition in 2008).

Or is this not being done due to 2377's lack of competition? As they are the only rookie...

My post is correct... there will be no Rookie award this year.

I thought that the trophy couldn't get any better than last year.

I was obviously wrong. That is awesome.

I want one =]

[Rich Wong]

Won’t it be great to have an award given out during the 2009 Kickoff for the “Best Off-Season Trophy Design” (for creativity)?

That would really move the Off-Season competitions up another level.

[GoSparx]

Well, I haven't seen anyone from my team up soooo......................

YA, WE WANT IT!!!

*raises hand*

I got a job at colors inc. due to their support for our team and I personally racked every one of them.

Nice Andy, very very nice.

P.S. 1741 is working hard to try to acquire one and thanks to 217 for a bit of design influence in our off season rework...
