I don't know why I'm really thinking about this, but I remember back in the day when we used to have the " Builder of the Year" Contest. I'm just wondering where that went and how we can bring that back.

For guys like me who are completely wrapped up in this sport and love building, it'd give us a greater achievement to look onto at the end of the year. I mean comeon, it looks like there is enough $ floating around here that I think something could be done and a nice prize could be given.

Thanks, Jay

I've seen him lurk around from time to time in the for sale section. I bought some stuff from him not too long ago.

Yeah I was wondering about this myself. I'd love to compete in that, except it'd never happen.


Its more of a "I have more money than you" contest but whatever. I like looking at everyone elses cool toys anyways.

Justin you do build some amazing stuff!! I really think we should get the admins to look at this and bring something about.

It would mean alot to those of us who do enjoy putting together some unique machines. I think there should be certain rules and regulations that you must stand by and there should also be a couple classes. Of course money will always be the issue, but its all about working for what you have. I'm 22 and work for every dime I have. I don't make boo koo money by any means!

450 Production
Hybrid
Mini
4x4
etc...

Honestly I see alot of guys always looking to put a personal touch on there machines, and this would serve to all of those you do instill there own personality into the quads they ride.

Thanks, Jay

muff had made his way to the neatv pro class still on that yfz and built a silver orange clone of sorts but this year he is on a bcs built kawi if you go into the neatv photo galleries he is the #47

edit: i think he may have actually built two kawis judging by the pics i found, i'll toss em up in a minute, i only made it to the first race this year, and i believe i heard that he wrecked at the capeway race not sure though

mechanic of the year i like that, probably wont happen but i like it.

or even most progress of the year award, like a bunch of people would enter build up threads over say a years period of time, and we would vote on which quad we believe made the most progress over that time span?

just thinking out loud :p
