'Most Improved' prizes announced for Harvest Havoc
WATERLOO, NY -- The Most Improved builders have prizes waiting on the back side of the SM Derby Duplicates' Harvest Havoc 2010 event, presented by MGM Derby Products and Slider Drive Shafts.
A most generous donation from JPR Inc. will provide two cars' worth of parts for the most improved overall builder in the Enduro event, and most improved individual entries in the Compact and Full-Size derbies. The trucks will also feature a Most Improved reward.
"Each prize pack will be class specific," said Josh Paul, of JPR Inc.
Plans currently include advance shipment of the prizes to the SMDD Headquarters in New York, ensuring prompt disbursement to the winners.
"We're thrilled to have JPR Inc. on board for the event," said Shay Sane, a primary builder for SM Derby Duplicates, the organization promoting Harvest Havoc on the CrazyJsPlace.Proboards.com site.
Sane and Chris Marquart, founders of SM Derby Duplicates have been using JPR parts in builds for over a year.
"They're always in good shape, and Josh wants to see the hobby grow. The prize pack will help the most improved driver continue on their path of progression," Marquart added.
The Enduro pack will include fuel cells and wheels specific to ASA/ARCA-type enduro cars. The Compact pack will include smaller V-treads and boat tanks. The Full-size pack will include bumpers and batteries, and the truck pack will include wide V-treads for truck applications.
"You will have enough to finish off two cars... bumpers, batteries, fuel cells, wheels," Paul said. "It's the least I could do."
Since no trucks or enduros have been hosted in the past, judging on 'most improved' will be based on build quality while the full size and compact award will be judged on true improvement over previous builds in the same class.
"The prizes always go to the top guys, so it seemed logical to help the guys getting started and coming up through," Sane said. "This is one of the best ways we could come up with to pull that off."
The MGM Harvest Havoc team event will consist of three cars, built by one, two or three artists and can be of any make, model or year (provided they fit the full-size bill). Other classes include Enduros, Compacts and Outlaw Trucks.
Images of cars will be due by 11:59 pm September 30. Results are expected to be complete by October 2-3. Two New York-based derby drivers have been tabbed to help judge, results coincides with their availability.
The hunt for sponsors continues, and announcements regarding sponsors, partners, rules and classes will be made in the coming weeks.
