Luckily Chris/MotorsportXLS emailed me and offered to help, so we've worked it a bit behind the scenes.  But I need to nail it down ASAP 'cause I need to have the trophies made.  (The ones I have picked out are similar to the one below, and will have the name of the show and the class engraved on it.)  So, here is what I'm thinking about, but want your opinions.


•  Furthest Distance Driven I believe that Jonathan is sure to be the winner!!

•  People's Favorite

•  Best Paint

•  Best Engine  (Must be installed)

•  Closest To Stock (Pre-2000)

•  Best Upgrades (Modifications?)

David, that is ~IF I am successful at making the 1981 ready for the journey. That's a pretty big "if" (unfortunately). I am trying, but it still needs many things done. Also, Gary mentioned Big Blackie may be coming from Washington state?

[1986F150Six]

Don't worry about the mode, just arrive safely!

[Gary Lewis]

Yes, Big Blackie is supposed to be here, but I'm not sure he will qualify as having come from Washington.  My guess is that Luke will have driven him to Wichita by now and he'll drive down for the day.  But, I need to remind him, so thanks.

So, if Jonathan doesn't get his '81 going in time, I'm guess in next up would be Alabama.  

[1986F150Six]

Oh, boy!

[Pebcak]

Wish I could come but it's 4+ hours for me.  If y'all are ever in the OKC area or closer to TX I'll be there!

[Gary Lewis]

Oh, wow!  That long???  



(Jonathan's driving 1,000 miles, or about 15 hours.  And Chris is flying to LA to pick up Bill, and they will either drive the 1,500 miles/24 hours or fly.  And then there's getting home.)

I should add that they are staying the weekend, so aren't doing it in one day.

[Pebcak]

Well dang..... I'll have to see what's going on that weekend.  

Otherwise, I'll catch the next one early enough to plan it out to fit out schedule better.

[Gary Lewis]

Please do!  It is a long drive, but we will be having fun so hope you can join us.

Have you seen the flyer?

[Pebcak]

Yes I did.  It looks real good.  I like that you turned the actual picture into the truck on the flyer.

Thanks!  Yes, and it is going on my business card as well.  Or, the card for the webside/forum, which isn't a business.  Some businesses don't make money when they are supposed to.  But, I have no way to make money on this thing.  I'm just having fun and trying to help the Bullnose community.  

[Gary Lewis]

Here's what I'm thinking of having engraved on the trophies.  What do you think?  (The verbiage would be aligned in the center instead of left-aligned as shown below.)  I need to get them working on them ASAP, so quick responses would be appreciated.

Those look good Gary, but are you sure it shouldn't be Garagemahal all-Ford truck show since you are the one putting it on rather than the town of Skiatook?

[Gary Lewis]

Good point.  But, I doubt I would be able to get Garagemahal on there as that is 11 characters and Skiatook is 8 characters.  There's a 25 to 30 character/line max, and we are already at 28 with Skiatook All-Ford Truck Show, so that would push it to 31 characters.

So, what about leaving the "All-" off and making it:

[Ford F834]

Yes! I would go that route. The "all" is unnecessary 👍

[Gary Lewis]

Ok, here's what it looks like now.  Only I'll ask her to leave the red squigglies out.    Anyway, comments requested.

[1986F150Six]

That looks good! Best paint? [Dad's Truck]

Farthest driven? Jonathan [I bet he gets the 1981 ready!!]

Closest to stock? [I should drive my son's 1984 with functioning feedback system.]

It should be fun!

[Gary Lewis]

Wow!  You just saved me.  I had "furthest" and it should be "farthest".    Thanks!

[Gary Lewis]

The trophies are being made and will be available a week from today - basically with a week cushion.
