DMVR gave out a brand new Award for 2013 called The Rally Cross Award of Excellence.
This Award recognizes the DMVR member/members who put forth special effort and/or work to make the Rally Cross program a success for this calendar year.
For 2013, it was given to two people, Thomas Krauel, and John Jacobs. Both of these men worked especially hard and for countless hours to build the Rally Cross program from its infancy to a real opportunity for SCCA members to enjoy. The judges felt it was impossible to separate these two men and only recognize one of them, so it was awarded to them both for pulling off this new activity for us!
The Award is a unique one of a kind hand make work of automotive art, and symbolicly represents the creative efforts it takes to make a program in Rally Cross to work successfully. This Award will be given out annually as a traveling trophy to the person who set the best example and or effort for the calendar year to improve on our Rally Cross program.
About the trophy itself: The trophy was designed and this award is sponsored by Cottman Auto Repair and Transmissions in Des Moines. This trophy is made of numerous automotive parts, with a purpose or meaning. Starting with the solid base (any good program starts with a solid base), it is followed by multiple moving gears (thinking makes the gears turn), springs (action or applied pressure gets things done), followed by rings linked together as a crown (symbol of fellowship, or a group with similar interests joining together to crown the trophy, and make the Rally Cross program a success).
The Rally Cross chair(s) will be responsible for Awarding the annual trophy, and the recipient's name will be engraved on a plaque at its base.
Congratulations John and Thomas for a job well done! DMVR appreciates your hard work, and this trophy is a token of the club's appreciation to your efforts to make our club successful!
