I was talking to my dad the other day while cleaning up our house, and I asked him what I should do with some old car show trophies. He told me that the Quarter midget program reuses the trophies for thier kids! It dosen't matter how old or new, big or small, its something for the kids that normally the program cannot afford for them. I took mine there today and told them I would spread the word. So if you are looking for something to dow with them other than dust then, keep moving them around, and a solution other than tossing them hit up evergreen speedway or your local race track!!!

hmm... good idea..... will keep that in mind....once it comes time for "spring cleaning"

 

Cool, all of mine are in boxes now as we try to declutter the house before the deep cleaning begins.

 

If Evergreen isn't convenient try your local ones! Even the dirt tracks!

 

I have like 5 really nce trophies that I am willing to give up............honestly I do not want them.........the memeory is enough.........let me know privatly what I can do......Brian

 

well i only have a few but love looking at them in the garage so that is where they are going to stay. other then that i think it is cool what you guys are doing with all and i do mean all of your old winnings LOL

 

Excellent idea, Erik. I hope more folks donate some trophies for this sort of thing.

(Last time I got a trophy was in the early '70s, but it was bowling, and I have NO idea where it eventually went.)

 

That's awesome. If i had any, i'd donate them, but haven't gotten one.

 

I had some from my last car and got 2 this year. I took the plaques off and took the trophies, they were ecstatic top get them!!!! I Know there are some some out there that could spare some, but its is up to them to get rid of them.

 

why dont someone get ahold of Tim in portland i know he has a bunch of trophies from his TC days

 

That is a good idea and I will have to follow suite. I do have enough to share and will only keep the ones that have meaning to me - I won't need them all as much anymore

 

woot erik's a smarty pants

 

just sent them a email to donate around 25 trophies i have

 

sweet!!!

thanks for the update!

Kanchi,
Do you know anywhere else that would take these? All the places i have contacted (quarter midget and PIR) have no need for them or can't take them. I' not sure who else to look into

 

^did you try the guys @ Evergreen speedway?

 

Yup - i put a ad on craigslist - there are a lot of interest from church and science organizations contacting me so i won't have a problem finding someone now
