Just curious if anyone has received their 2019 Speed Week trophies yet.
I "thought" that they generally arrived somewhere around Christmastime.

What speed week? I was in Wendover in August and all I saw was slush and spin week! muutt

Very few trophy's to send out from the 2019 Speed Week shouldn't take long to get that completed. We all learned the gas pedal not only goes down but also up during the run and how much steering our rides had not fun at all. :laugh:

It's still a bit early to look for your trophy in the mail, however The SCTA seems to take longer and longer to get stuff done these days. It took us two years to get our 2016 record certification , Perhaps a "Certificate of Achievement" would be appropriate , stating that you made a run with out spinning, falling over, and managed to stay between the lines ! :friday
-
A couple of years ago, we were hoping for an achievement award of some sorts for going 4 miles to the 3-mile marker.
-
Well, here we are almost February , Anybody seen or heard anything on the Trophy status ? cromag
-
So , I did a count of records set during SW 2019 , If I am not mistaken , 24 records set . Maybe SCTA will just hold the trophies over and give them out in person in August ??? :dhorse:
-
SO, If we are late with our dues we get hit with a extra fee. So, If we are late with a vehicle registration we get hit with an extra fee. BUT if the SCTA drags their ass getting things handled on their end , is there a recourse ?? Kidding of course , we all know the almighty dollar runs the SCTA.
Just getting frustrated over the complete lack of concern on the 2019 Trophy situation , Oh did I mention its now MARCH !!! :evil:
-
I see they finally posted the 2019 Bonneville Records on the SCTA-BNI website. Hopefully the trophies won't be far behind!

Hi, i wish you were right but when i checked the records page for my record it isn't updated, and i still havent had my trophy, had the dinky brass plaque but that isn't keeping my sponsor very happy, for the costs of my week over the pond.
-
I can certainly understand your disappointment.
-
I received my trophy Friday so they are being shipped out now...
-
Amazing but true !! The Trophy showed up last Friday . Judging by the return address it was shipped directly from the manufacturer. :clap :clap
-
YES! The hardware arrived yesterday!!!
Steve.
-
Pics!?
-
got ours
-
Congrats saltracer!
-
still waiting here in the UK for it to arrive, but guess the virus may be complicating things, could do with cheering up!
-
got ours
Phil it was well deserved. Getting down that coarse was not a simple task. Just think of the possibility for this year you went fast on a junk surface if theres a race and a bit nicer surface to run on your going to up that record again. Hope to see you in August

Well Hey, there were 8 car records at speedweek. Ours was the fastest of the week. Got our trophy yesterday. Car is right, number is right. Class and record speed are NOT. Swell. Have to see what the owner wants to do (I'm lowly driver). Maybe like an annoying check engine light, put a piece of tape over it. :-P muutt
-
Hey Jack, we received a dash plaque years ago that was engraved 100 mph too fast. I was ok with that. lol
-
Well we could cover just the class designation. Would be ok but we slowed down 30mph LOL.
-
In comparison, the USFRA held World of Speed in September - a month later than Speedweek. They distributed the trophies (9 for bikes, 21 for cars) in early November, less than two months after the meet. I don't know about anybody else, but they got everything right on mine!
