I was so pleased with the "driver bust" trophies that Marc Tyler of Immense Miniatures created for my VRAA Proxy last year that I commissioned similar ones for this event. The top three finishers in the 1967 GP of Canada Proxy Race will receive the Jack Brabham trophies. Of course, Jack was the reigning F1 World Champion during 1967 and he was also the winner of the Canadian Grand Prix that year. The top three (and with the tie, four) in the Concours D'Elegance will receive the Jackie Stewart trophies, and what a good-looking young Scot he is! Additionally, Slot Car Corner Canada has donated a Policar Lotus 72 (JPS livery) and five pairs of their excellent Canadian made CB Design insert wheels. I contributed another Policar Lotus 72 (Gold Leaf livery) so that the winners of both the Proxy Race and the Concours will receive an equal reward. The podium finishers in both categories will get one pair of wheels each. Finally, all entrants will receive a 4 x 6 inch "gallery photo" print of their own car (suitable for framing!) as a souvenir of the event. These are similar to those posted elsewhere of the winners and will have the name of the event, your name and car identification printed on the photo. I am finishing the trophy plaques and printing the photos this weekend, so your cars should be in the mail early next week. I will advise you when I have done so. Stewart

This is great!
Thanks Stewart for the very fine looking prizes, last years VRAA had the drivers bust trophies and I was quite disappointed to miss out in one, i'm especially delighted to get a "Jack Brabham",
Special thanks to Christian from Slot Car Corner Canada,
Terry

My best regards to Steward and all the hosts and all the racers who allowed to organize and perform such a well organized and thrilling proxy race. This was my first attempt to build a formula one racing car and it wouldn‘t be the last! Thank you another time Thomas

My apologies to everyone. Preparations for Christmas have really set me back. I promise to get your cars and prizes into the postal system next week. It's probably for the best in any case as the seasonal shipping backlog will have eased somewhat. Best wishes for the holiday season!
Stewart

I know the season is over and again congrats to everyone on their entries. It was sad to hear of Dan Gurneys recent passing but nice to see that his namesake and cars were present in this event. I know that when my car comes back it will have a place given with respect in his honor. Now if I can get Chris to ship me his Jim Clark car I would have my all time favorite driver enshrined. Hope everyone is well. Aloha Dale

All cars except the McLaren of Val/glasshorse and David Mitcham's Ferrari are now in the mail. Apologies for the delay. I will send a Forum Message or e-mail to each of you with tracking info (if that service was available to me at a reasonable cost). I would appreciate receiving a confirmation message or post here when you receive your cars.
Val, please respond to my message and e-mail concerning a required phone number.
David, your car and prizes are wrapped and ready to post when you notify me of your return from your travels.

Stewart - my car arrived today, safe and sound. Thanks again for your excellent repair of my broken nose! I touched up the paint and you can hardly see it now. After my struggles in the early rounds it was certainly a pleasant surprise to end up third. Thanks for an inspiring and well-run proxy!
