Default ECS Corvette Challenge 1st round trophy upgrade program

How many 1 st round trophies do we need??????

I'm now saying One but one that will have some meaning and can be of the quality that you would want to display it in a prominent place in your home. Now, how many of you have first place trophies anywhere but the garage???

Well now for the first time at Englishtown, all East Coast Supercharging Corvette Challenge racers will have the option of eather selection the standard track first round trophy, or accumulation first round win points and putting that toward an ungraded award. This is similar to the trophy marathon concept where the more rounds you win the larger the prize. So in the 11 total races anyone who will 1st round in all 11 would get a much more impressive trophy than winning 11 small plaques. For 11 out of 11, I'm thinking of a trophy, like, something in crystal with aclock.

I Hope you guys like this idea, if you don't you can always take the plauqes.

We, at the ESC Challenge are always trying to thinking of way to enhance your racing experance.

If you have any question or comments post here or feel free to IM, E-MAIL OR CALL ME.

Thanks, John

It's a good idea, I would like to see one plaque with maybe the dates of your wins engraved on it.

We would like to see everyone that races sign up for points this year :thumbs:


There will be MANY advantages to being a points racer this year even if you can only make afew races. This trophy program is just one.

I was really thrilled on my first visit to the WCCC winning a first round trophy. It's still on the mantle, next to my semi-final trophy from the next event.

You might want to keep some small trophys around for those that have never won a racing trophy before.

What you suggest is great for those that are "regulars", IMHO.

We're trying to make everyone regulars.

I have 34 of those "small" trophies and nowhere to put them.

If everyone becomes a points racer, then they will be regulars and have to come to the banquet to get their plaque.

But those who only plan on racing one time, can get the trophy.

Steve also this is an optional program. Even if you are a regular and want the regular trophy you can have it.

I am going to shoot a pic of all the ones I have won int he past 2 years and you will see what I am talking about.

Sounds good the winner should have something he would prominently display.

How many 1 st round trophies do we need??????
No kidding. I usually don't even bother to pick up the first round trophies anymore (not just at the CC, but at e-town in general).

The trophy upgrade program sounds like a good one!
