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

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.

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

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,
Curt

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

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