When a kid races a complete series he wants a big trophy to show off. Give the pros the coupons and payback they have enough trophies and I bet most pro's still have the first big trophy they ever won. I think 95 percent of the racers are racing for fun and GOOD memories. One big award feels way better than a bunch of coupons that make us spend more money to use. The plaques are pretty cool. Just kinda small for year end. We raced the series in 09 finished third. Don't know what they gave in 010. I do know that mx in the northwest would not be the same without P.R.O. And crew. Keep it up.
Please run longer pro motos in 2011.

We do the plaques because most of the people that have the big trophies have them stored somewhere that no one sees them. That kinda why we do what we do. And without bragging. The Machined plaques that Garrett designs and we make are pretty nice looking on anyones wall.
As far as certificates. Some were percentage off, some were a dollar amount and some were for free product. We do the best we can, which I'm pretty sure is more than most.

The machined placques were very cool!

Ted, I got both and each are prominently on display.

Plaques get "traffic view" meaning anybody comes by gets to see these's.

Trophy's get a Room of their own. I'm talk'n da-6-footer-kind, da big stuff no wank-wank. I do miss those Wrangler Days .

Ken You are one of the few that has a room dedicated to all your 6 foot trophies. If you had kids your trophs would be in a box in the garage and P.R.O. plaques would be all over your kids room floor to celing.

I think something cool for the regular trophies would be a plaque and then just hand out all the little metal things that go on the trophies.that would save us all some space in our garage

When I raced jeeps that's what they did.

P.R.O. graphics for rear windows would be cool.

Dave, Paul, Ray..

You guys are nuts!

Best I ever saw (Decoster-until-now) was some kid struggling to haul off one of "Clems" Enumclaw S.K.Y.'s monster 6'er trophies at end of series.

Pocket sized plaques are the rage in the near future I'm sure.

Series end trophies should be big and 50/65/80's should have race trophies. I'd like to see dollar off coupons for future races in lieu of trophies for the big bikes.

As a mini dad and racer, I agree with Paul. Kids (for the most part) don't like or want plaques. Kids don't enjoy looking at something hanging on the wall...they want some big hardware to carry.

I like plaques for myself for the reasons mentioned above...I can hang it on the wall and they don't look gaudy.

Plaques for "big boys", trophies for kids. That would always be my vote.

i think your on to something paul. didnt see it til now. my boy always loves the trophies at arenacross or at other tracks and doesnt seem to care as much for the plaques except for the ones at bigger events like top gun or the series end awards . you can put trophies on a shelf(alot of them)where you need alot of wall space or just stack the plaques up.

no they will text you a picture of a trophy

I heard gas is supposed to hit the $4 mark. Ted may have to come up with some creative things to get riders out. I'm planning on coming to the first round, we'll see after that.
