The overall winning
team/series will have bragging rights over all other race series - and will get to
keep the
The
Off-Road Cup
until another series takes it away. Tags will be added to
the base which will include the year, series name
& logo, and the rider names. A podium and sponsor
backdrop will be setup for an official trophy
presentation shortly after the event, large award checks
used, etc. Each year we'll ask the top 3 teams to pose for a picture on the podium. Two riders can stand behind each block and the rider with the team's fastest lap time can kneel on one knee on the actual block - & the 1st place Pro team's fastest rider holding the The Off-Road Cup. Personal trophies will also be given out for riders to keep. The two standing behind the block can hold the award check & their personal trophies. This photo should be useful in placing on the winning series' website with a note rubbing in the victory! |
It is our hope that each race series
will keep this weekend open every year, mention it at
their annual banquet / encourage their riders to attend,
and even support their riders with a little financial
assistance / team shirts / etc. to best represent their
group - at least their top pro team. The Acadiana Racing staff will write a race report after the event and will submit to Cycle News, Dirt Bike, Dirt Hammers, Dirt Rider, Holeshot Magazine, Motorcycle USA, Off-Road Champions, Off-Road Junkies, RacerX, etc. with the mission of putting the winning Race Series in the spotlight. Of course it'll also be on the home page of AcadianaRacing.com! |
