Unless you've been hiding under a 24" billet wheel somewhere, you've most likey heard that the Grand National Roadster Show went down this past weekend. Most reports have labeled it as a gre... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
hell the fuck yeah!! seriously awesome idea ryan. doubt too many of us have been hiding under that proverbial wheel but i know there will be some good guys from here to help choose the REAL winner.
yeah buddy !!!!!!! this is the koolest thing I've seen here for a while...If donations are needed for the award just say the word....I know we have some ISCA current judges on here, I would really like to hear what they think also
Great idea Ryan! 40,000 votes should be worth something. (So is it too late for this year?) Surely there are at least 10 respondents to the other posts you could survey, post pics and let us vote.
I'll fallow you to the end Sir! It realy is a good idea. Somehow I would imagine that they would kindly ask you to leave though if they caught wind that you were undermining the prescious award.
Maybe... but let me ask you this... Do you know what I look like? This could very well piss off the folks of the GNRS. If they are smart business guys, it shouldn't as we are actually promoting the show with this deal. BUT, if it does... well, it does. They aren't going to stop me/us.
After seeing the pics from the show, I don't know how that thing won that award. Sounds like a good idea to me.
Tell ya what Ryan, I'll grab, me, Grumpy, Fiddy Four, and Big Tony. We'll see if they ask you to leave! HA! Seriously, Fantastic idea! your such a Hoodlum! Any thing I can do let me know.
''Maybe... but let me ask you this... Do you know what I look like? '' Haha, there was an article I was reading the other day on the coker website with your picture so yes? but anyways, yeah business wise it would be great for them and now that im thinking about it I doubt with all the other crowds of website/car magazine photographers/journalists that there would even be a question.
A great idea...it's time to make this award RELEVANT again. Not to take away from the craftmanship of the winner, but that car has all the appeal of most new cars....in other words, it has none!
I love the idea and I love that it will be outlaw! Suggestion: Those GNRS bureaucrats will try to stop you from presenting (or even bringing in) a trophy. So just present a nice customized Jalopy Journal, or HAMB jacket. Ain't no law against wearin' a jacket. You can slip'em a trophy and dated plaque later. My $.02
I'm thinking of something a little more monumental for a trophy... Think Indy 500... Winner from the previous year will pass it to the winner the next.
Reminds me of SOPWAMTOS that came about in the Bicycle Industry Tradeshow for many of the same reasons..................what is SOPWAMTOS? Society of People Who Actually Make Their Own Shit! I am all for it man, you have my full support!
Be careful! This is how Billetproof started. One of the early ideas was to go to car shows and have our own show within theirs. We would hand out our own awards etc. Then we decided to just do our own show. At one point, there was actually a car show held in the parking lot of a well-known event. It ended when security kicked everyone out.
