 Looking for ideas on the awards and box plaques.

 

You've seen the previous years theme, any ideas for this year?

Bump ... Tom K. came up with an idea.

Any one have any vintage drag promo posters or maybe could draw out a cool plaque/poster deal or even Tom's concept

Thanks Bob my idea along the lines of the first 2 proxies (I didn't see last years) was Breaking the sound barrier with dc power,it could be a salt racer with a big dc motor racing down the salt or something along those lines.Seeing that science mags back in the day would sometimes do the safari or expedition type thing maybe something like The DC Punks Take Us Bobcat Hunting In Florida,or something like that with an old safari type scene maybe with dc95 powered rifles.
With the old drag poster idea alot of old drag race posters had a photo of a well known car on a track with the heading at top & the info at the bottom maybe last years winners with the photo turned to black & white & a title like The DC Punks are proud to present the 4th annual Rods & Rails Proxy DRAGS!DRAGS!DRAGS!DRAGS! Maybe you could just finish the whole page in DRAGS! In diffrent colors well thats all the ideas I have I would make something up but I don't have access to a good computer.
Tom.

Hey Bob I maybe talked my brother into helping me make a design it will just be the photo of last years winners running with borders & info I will pm you my email address & could you please send me a good photo that might work.
Thanks Tom

[Tom Katsanis]

even better if we can use it & get hold of good pic would be the russkit eliminator ad photo pulling a wheelstand & smoking the tyres.

 Anyone or everyone ... the last three years awards were/are nice .. any fresh blood artistic help would be appreciated..

Thanks

DC-Punks,

Remember 'Bubbles' from the 2nd annual? WoW was she fast.   

 

We can do the final dial-in race again this year.  

I'll find the 'fastest car around and in the end we will see who gets to race against it.

Nice poster done by DC- Punks timer Tom K. from Melbourne ... WTG !  .

 

^{There is an expected change to the official R&R font (hemi-head rg) but the poster looks cool enough to share as is.}

Thanks TK

Bob, I am going to check other cars today. Hope to add a monster and a rail. 

[Gator Bob]

One word - Awesome !

[boxerdog]

OK. So we've got 2 rails (Top Fuel and Jr Fuel) and a big 36d. Look OK??

 

The monster has teething issues, sorry. Hank is staying home.
