This years banquet will be much like last years with the exception of this year we will have a magician for the social time and then he will perform a skit just before the awards.
You will have to be there just to see who he makes disappear.
Banquets in general have lost some steam so I am urging our drivers to attend the banquet. The night is to honor Champions as well as all competitors so with that in mind supporting this years banquet will be a way to demonstrate your committment to future banquets. Award recipients change each year and next year could be your turn, so consider supporting the banquet even if this is not your year. Next year may be and you will then want the banquet to be on firm ground.
I would also like to let everyone know that they are welcome to attend. The more people we have the better the honorees will feel. Many people watch their favorite team/driver all season. The banquet is a great time to have some 1 on 1 time with that driver/team. Drivers may want to consider inviting some of their sponsors.
Trophies and points money will be given to drivers that registered for points and have competed in more than half of the completed events.
Spartan Championship Hoods will be given to the Champions in each of the following divisions:
Late Models
Modifieds
Spartan Wingless Sprints
Pure Stock
Pony A
Pony B
Note: Champions are required to attend.
Special awards will be given out for each division (where applicable) for:
Most improved
Rookie
Sportsmanship
Perfect attendance
As you can see this is a big event and takes a lot of time to put together. I again urge everyone that can to attend as we need big numbers to make this a viable event going forward.
