I'll be honest. I'll be voting for your team packer for ARLA most Popular team.

by navycook75 Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:11 pm

Reject of the year in my opinion will go to Randy McFlasher.

by PackerMan71 Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:02 pm

Voting isn't open yet, you guys. Laughing

This is just a thread where we come up with ideas for possible awards.

I know, but when I saw Reject of the year, I had to.

by teamwhiper Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:11 pm

Erm.....uhhhhh......hmmm....

I do feel we should get the 75-Dollar Seat award back.I mean,some people had quite nice avoidance skills,such as Cletus Mcguffie(What?) at the Rookie Shootout and AJ Young(Another What?) at Race 1.

Another award I might add the Loser Lapper award(Crap name right?) which goes to the person who has been lapped the most in races in which he/she finished in.

Finally,I think we should have a "Drive of the Year" award where one person makes all the other drivers look like senior citizens in the duration of a race.

by Map5497 Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:14 pm

The oh so close award: Awarded to the driver who was very close to winning or having a great run but had something take thaem out of that position

by gone-sovereign Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:31 pm

If there were an award for the unluckiest driver of the year, I'm certain Bruce would win it!

Hmmm... let's change the name Loser Lapper to... say... Orbited Backmarker Award. Maybe. I think we can fit that into the fail awards. Don't know about the Drive of the Year yet.

That's the Heartbreak of the Year award.

by Chives2112 Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:45 pm

Have a Rookie of the Year Award and name it the Noob Award or something of that nature?

by **SnakePlissken** Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:51 pm

How about the veteran who drove like a Rookie award?

I like this one. Laughing

I don't know, Chuck Bloomers has had some pretty bad luck.

I really don't know why I didn't think of this for the two previous banquets. CRL did this for the 2010 CRL banquet, I believe.

Theme music for the drivers when they go up to receive their award(s). What do you guys think?

by navycook75 Thu Sep 01, 2011 5:50 pm

I say yes, but have the drivers choose their own songs.

Is there anyway you can fit this into the banquet?

I can't wait to see who wins the awards. Is there a wreck dodging award?

by PackerMan71 Wed Nov 30, 2011 11:02 pm

Yes, this is a major bump, but I've added two new awards to the line-up...

BLACK MAMBA ENERGY DRINK PASS OF THE YEAR: Given to the driver who made the best pass of the year, and there are several major candidates for this award. Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier.

BROWN SHORTS LAXATIVES DODGE OF THE YEAR: Given to the driver who somehow made it through a crazy-as-all-hell accident unscathed, and they probably needed a change of pants after that. Laughing

Oh, by the way, after the Rockford 200 is posted, I will post the Fan's Choice Awards thread and official voting can begin. You will have two weeks to vote on the awards from the time the Rockford video is posted. I will do the same with the TM Master Cup Series FCA thread after Decatur is posted.

Also, if one or more of your drivers wins an award or finishes in the top 20 in points, I will need to know what theme music they prefer to have.

That's all the updates I have for now.

Forgive for sounding stupid, but is there something for part time driver of the year?

'Fraid not. Sorry.

Would it be possible to suggest it? I mean, I know the obvious choice is Blake Camphausen but whatdya think?

Bad Luck Amok Unluckiest Team Award: This award goes to the team that had the worst luck for the 2011 season, this could include part time teams as well.

Full Time: The team that Leslie Riggs was on, not only did they lose a great driver for the rest of the season (is she back in 2012?) but her replacement [Laura Cyrus] messed up big time at Darlington.
Part Time: Patriot Racing (Both drivers tend to either breakdown or get caught up in someone's mess... except Barry Spengler, he causes his own)

Hmmmm.... that's not a bad idea. I'll definitely think about it.

by gwoodard41 Fri Dec 02, 2011 6:47 pm

Second Fiddle Award: This goes to any driver who had a strong car over any amount of races but failed to win one race during the season due to the driver's own mistakes, mechanical failure, or getting involved in others' messes.

Hauler Caller Award: Given to the team(s) or driver(s) that were frequently called to the hauler for any reason.

(Frequently as in more than once or twice)

Kamikaze Award: This would go out to the drivers or teams who frequently created incidents or collisions that resulted in any other drivers being taken out with them.

Backmarker of the Year Award: This would go to the driver who had the highest frequency of being off the pace for any variety of reasons.

Human Pinball Award: The driver who was banged around by other drivers on a frequent basis, this can apply to a season or just one race

Karmic Retribution Award: This goes out to any driver(s) who may have difficult to drive with and got their just desserts for their actions.

by PKligBKFan Fri Dec 02, 2011 7:30 pm

Hauler Caller Award winner should probably be Henrietta Laverne III. She was called to the hauler way too many times.

by PackerMan71 Thu Dec 08, 2011 10:03 pm

Updated and modified the first page.

by navycook75 Fri Dec 09, 2011 8:35 pm

wait, if people vote for the least popular driver, doesn't that make him/her the most popular driver for that category?

Essentially it's the driver that everyone loves to hate. So yes and no...

No... then the universe would have imploded if that was the case.

by PackerMan71 Mon Dec 19, 2011 10:04 pm

UPDATE: Now that Rockford has been posted, if one or more of your drivers finished in the top 20 in points, please tell me what their theme music will be for the banquet. If you don't send it in in time, I'll have Ceej pick one for ya. Very Happy

Also, the FCA thread has been posted as well.

The most popular team and most popular driver award winners should get their own theme music too. Those awards are pretty major and should get an acceptance speech Razz

Anyone who wins one of the good awards gets to make an acceptance speech. Wink
