I've been meaning to make this post for a while now and well...what better time than now!? Like I said at the awards night prior to presenting, each of these awards were made with full intentions on being fun and to give everyone a little chuckle. When other Steel City guys and I initially came up with the idea for these awards, I thought everyone would get a kick out of them haha. That being said, I'd like to now recognize those who recieved the first ever SDAC "Parking Lot" Awards:
The Award for:
1. 'Best Beer'
-This award went to Cindy and those from FWD Performance for putting on that awesome kick-off party! There was plenty of food and obviously, beer! As I stated at the awards night, we all love beer and of course, the 'Best Beer' is always free! Thanks again CindyCongrats!
2. 'Best Mustache'
- This award went to Steve (Cuda-Tugger). The winner for the 'Best Mustache' award was almost too close to call. After all of the votes were tallied, we had to go back to the polls and do a recountbecause Captain Heath (Yaaaargghh) miscounted due to the eye patch covering his left eye.
After recounting and coming up with a three way tie between you, Don Pennington, and Jim (JIMSTRUCK) we had to go into a tie breaker and we determined that Steve had the best mustache of them all because his the most well maintained.
Congrats!
*Note* There actually was no vote/count or anything haha, I'm just having some fun with this.
3. 'Best Party Crew'
- This title was awarded to Mike Marra, RUTHIE, and the rest of their crew. The first time that I rolled into the parking lot at this SDAC, I couldn't help but notice the palm trees, parrots, and other inflatable, tropical memoribilia out in the middle of the parking lot. The only possible thing that could have made their set-up better would have been a slip 'n slide
4. 'Best Chapter Presence"
-I wish that I had an award to give to each SDAC chapter that was represented at SDAC-17 but unfortunately I only had one to hand out. I really had no idea who to choose because it seemed like a number of the chapters were well represented. After we spoke with Barry we decided to use pre-registered participants' affiliations to decide on who to award this to. In the end, the number of Delaware Valley members that were in attendance were to be commended. Bruce "Top Fuel" Bender accepted the award on behalf of the DV-SDAC. Congrats!
5. 'Best Burnout'
- One thing that everyone always looks forward to during the SDAC conventions are the burnouts! The first night that I was there this year, there were several burnouts I witnessed that I felt would be hard to top. Brian Bucar had an absolutely AWESOME burnout in his Reliant and definitely got the crowd going. The award for 'Best Burnout' however, went to Alan. (Sorry Brian) For those who haven't heard, Alan flew in from California and rented a new Chrysler 300C only to have a clan of TM enthusiasts do an hour long (yes only an hour
6. 'Best Web-Forum'
- This was an easy award to hand out because there is simply no other competition (Yes, I went there). No other Turbo Dodge forums are even close to being in the same league as T-M and that is why we presented the award for 'Best Web-Forum' to Frank and the rest of Turbo-Mopar.com! Congrats!
There you have it folks, the award winners from the first ever SDAC 'Parking Lot' Awards! For those who won, if you can, take a picture of yourself with your award and post it up! Steve even mentioned to me that he is preparing a speech that he is going to post up
