Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

I'm trying to decide if I should axe giving away trophies at dyno days. I usually end up spending about $80 on them per event, and it donned on me that I could give away cash or gift certificates instead, which might be more greatly appreciated. Basically I'd be looking at giving away $50 for the high dyno number, and $15-20 each for the pull-off champs.

The main drawback I see is that vendor's names don't end up landing on that trophy. The advantage is that then the money would be spent back in vendor shops (if I did the gift certificate thing).

Please weigh in!

i say vendor gifts cards would be pretty awesome

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days
 

Trophies are cool and all, but vendor gift cards would be pretty bad ass too!

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days
 

Vendors gift cards, we get a discount and they get business, not like we are only gonna stop at the gift card amount.

And for the noobs to the vendors it will generate repeat business!!!

Just get bigger T-shirts please.

it would be nice to put another pull off trophy next to my other previous ones.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days
 

trophy's just make you feel good about yourself, in my opinion

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days
 

That may be so, but trophies can't buy hookers!

Good feedback, more votes please!

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

just get some smaller trophies and do gift cards that way people that like the trophies will still get them

Seville gift cards!

I say definitely no cash, but a gift certificate to the shop hosting the dyno day would be a cool idea.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

Agreed. I could use the financial assistance for my tune.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

But wouldnt most people that Dyno high numbers probably not need gift certificates as much? I think trophies are nice to have and use as bragging rights :)

Even at 1000 whp theres still something you need, certificates would be a great idea.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

People making a lot of HP break a lot of things, and need those gift certificates even more!!

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days
 

makes sense haha

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

I say gift certs to keep the money local and help out the local vendors that help us on a regular basis. Just dont do any GCs from slowboy, i dont think you will get them in time for the dyno day. LOL

I voted for gift certificates, but the only downside I see is people selling them later.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

Whats the downside? The money is still going back to the company...

I like the prizes, but perhaps there could be more universal items like air filters, oil, and hood struts. Maybe if there are just gift certificates, they could be specific, like different ones for labor, parts, or dyno tuning. Or have people donate items of good quality. You could have a parts donation thread where people post pictures and vote yes or no for each item people want to donate.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

speaking of donating, I have a Brand new Prosport boost gauge I want to donate.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

I donated some shit last dyno day and I haven't seen it for sale so it must of been good/decent.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

I think gift certificates are a cool idea. Cash is so uncreative.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

But so useful.

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

Maybe get smaller trophies and use the money saved to get gift cards or more universal type prizes. Oil, tranny fluid, filters come to mind.

later,

I decided to get one trophy for the dyno high whp winner, then gift certs for them and the other winners with the leftover $$. Should be a good compromise :)

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

I have a better idea: We rent a billboard and put winner's car/face on it for a month :D

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

That's a pretty sweet idea!

Re: Trophies at Dyno Days --Please Vote!!!
 

Sounds like a winner.
