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 .

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.

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 !

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!!!!

Very nice awards! Great job by you both to take the time and effort to make someones year.

To say the least, Tom and Earl really out-did themselves with these awesome awards. I was quite surprised and admittedly taken back a step or two when I was lucky enough to be presented with mine at the Banquet last Saturday evening. I couldn't have imagined a better "topper" to a great season! It is prominently displayed at home now with a couple other of my most highly prized awards. Thanks again Guys, I sincerely appreciate it!
