Well, it was down to the wire, but the trophy and the judging sheet have been finished for the SteelSoldiers.com Excellence in M-Series Award.
A huge thanks goes out to Brian 54reo who put the trophy together with his Dad in record time! I think it looks fantastic.
I finished the judging sheet at 10 pm last night and got it over to Brian. I have recruited Brian, Chris gimpyrobb, Jeff junkyardwarscrusher, and Garry lstmate to be the judges and award presenters.
Thanks for coming through in a pinch everyone!

I like the award, that's pretty cool looking. I think 54reo and his dad deserve a big round of applause and a big for doing such a great job in such a short amount of time.
Can't seem to beat the ingenuity of a SS member.

Wow, great trophy guys, looks awesome. Chris I like the judging sheet, you can tell it was created by someone who knows these trucks. So many of the judging sheets seem like they were put together by a 5 year old.

I think the judging is weighted WAY TO HEAVILY in the 'how far did you drive it' category.
if the convention is in your home town you lose big points for something completely out of your control.
I would say 3 for driving, 1 for hauling.

I sent those pix to Chris about midnight or so last night, after a REALLY long week. Didn't think to send a pic of Lamar and Jewell's truck. I just sent it to Chris, I'm sure he'll post it soon.
The SS trophy and presentation were both First Class!

Way to go guys. Wish I could have stayed to watch the award, ditto on everything said about Lamar. I think that maybe it's really Jewell's award as she has been and done everything he has. As we say out here " Lamar married better that his wife did"!.
Again I thank the judging crew for getting out in the hottest part of the day to do this.

As a person who can't remember a name, I have to ask, is Lamar the guy I met at Aberdeen years ago that drove a deuce (with his wife) that had been heavily modified (for comfort purposes). I think the back was a nice cozy sleeping area and the cab had been insulated and so forth. I think I met him at the 2004 MVPA convention in Mobile too. It seems I have seen him at Aberdeen several times. He's a little shorter than me too. Just wondering if that's him. Really nice guy.
