Saturday was the big award banquet held in St Paul at the river center. Over 700 people attended. It was a good evening. As most of you know, two of our deuces were nominated, that right there was an awesome feat. We did not win the car of the year award with either car........but the 3 window was presented an AWESOME award!! The Twin Cities Roadsters club pick one car each year that they like, has to be driven, to be presented with the "Silver Hacksaw Award" you know, then cut off the top to make it a roadster like theirs. The roadster club is limited to just 25 members, a very elite club to be in. To have our car picked by them for their award is better, in my opinion, than winning the car of the year award.I don't mean to down play the car of the year award, but to have a group of real hot rod roadster drivers choose our car is just unreal. The award is a hand made engraved saw mounted on a wooden stand...very cool.
When a car is nominated for the MSRA car/custom of the year, it is presented with a very nice engraved brass and wood plaque with a image of your car on it and an outstanding full color matted ready to be framed picture of the car. The two new ones will hang right behind each car in the new Deuce Garage. They will look real nice there. During the ceremony each nominated car was on the big screen....neat.
It was a very fun evening, saw many friends, good food, good times.
