Sound like a good deal to me. Went to the shootout last year and spent a week listening to and smelling the sidewinders blow their motors up in the pits getting ready to get on the race track, enough is enough. Also about $1500.00 closer to home, I sure would like to have a "Golden Driller" but can't afford it. Maybe we can make up something as good?

Dad, that is an interesting idea..that would not be easy to accomplish.

I will think that over...I invite others to share trophy ideas here. What would your ideal trophy look like?

[WRP]

I like the idea of a simple trophy with the State of Indiana on top. Maybe an etching of the front of the coliseum on the front to represent the indoor racing, then "2011 Rumble in Ft Wayne" above that. Call it the "Golden Hoosier" or "Gilded Hoosier", something like that.
