Tom Goldman and Earl Nichols
 

I would like to show everyone how cool this award is. This picture is from the Masca, Masga, and Massa banquet. I did not get it yet because I could not make it to the banquet. I was quite impressed with what these two had been making as other awards. They took the time and made three of these. this is a work of art guys, move over Wally's, I have to make some room for a real showpiece!

Those trophys are "super" cool and I also thought so when I saw Matt's in person on Monday.

Wally's are fine but these are hand built and painted.....by 2 great friends.....

That's some great work by Tom & Earl. I heard they don't do much, but what they do is pretty nice. lol I'm hoping to add one to my shelf someday! Peace 'E'

Thanks Keith.
Wish you could have been there to get yours, but we were all a little nuts to travel in that weather.
I hope you don't mind waiting a few more weeks for yours as they are fairly heavy, and I'm afraid it might not ship well, If the condition of most of my parts deliveries are any indication !
The idea for the award's design was actually Kathy's .

Re: Tom Goldman and Earl Nichols
 

No need to ship. I can wait. Glad you got to see this post. I think this type of stuff is amazing and wanted to be sure you guys got due credit, including Kathy, .... Scary knowing you guys have that many broken/used parts to make all this stuff with.

Re: Tom Goldman and Earl Nichols
 

I fortunately only had one bad camshaft.
Earl and Bob Henry both donated a cam.
I change intake valves every year, so they are pretty plentiful.
The parts for trophies like George Smith's Sportsman of the Year , or Joe Eckel's "Where are My Keys " unfortunately are far too plentiful !
If we ever run short we can always tap Iggy and Amanda's pile !

Can't forget my stinky sock award from 2012 for finishing dead last in points....lol.

It's all in good fun and if anyone says we don't have fun in this series is drinking too much. It's a good replacement to when Uncle Buck used to give the Winner & Runner-Up of MASGA a Ham, no one will replace that so it's cool to have something new every year that Tom & Earl do.

And yes we were crazy to travel in that weather. If it wasn't paid for I would have moved it, it was UGLY!!!

Re: Tom Goldman and Earl Nichols
 

NICE WORK TOM & EARL ! Wish I could have made it to banquet!
Hoping to see one of those one of these years! Congrats Keith, Matt, and Don!

Re: Tom Goldman and Earl Nichols
 

A few things. My 'Where are my keys' key chain has been helpful. I only have one set of trailer keys and they are on it. The pictures do not do this awards any justice! So, you might want to consider donating any useless BBC camshafts to Tom. Me personally, I would have a cast made & sell them. Great award! Hell, I could hang my key chain on it! Nice stuff fellas.

I must say that is way cool. Something different to add to the collection. Always nice with an extra special touch, makes winning that much better...Outstanding trophy...Kudos to the ingenious minds behind these!!!!
