The CRO "Delly" Awards

Shadowracer · 2009-10-07T19:46:59Z

So I've been thinking that, in honor of the awards banquet coming up in a few weeks, we might be able to do a sort of awards thread here. Evan started one for the CRO faithful at large, but I'm wondering about just for Delaware. What's on your Top - Worst - Best - Scariest - Funniest - Coolest list for 2009?All I ask is we keep it good spirited and in good fun.Also, we need a name. I wanted to come up with something that played off the Grammys, but the best I could come up with is the "Dellys", and I'm thinking we can do better. (of course, maybe a pastrami on rye would make a good trophy.)Maybe if we get enough responses I'll see if I can whip something up for the banquet on the 24th on behalf of CRO.So, name the award, who's nominated, and why.I'll start with a couple.The "Whoa...that's gotta hurt" award goes to Tyler Finlay. On June 5th, the second Powerade Mod feature of the night saw what I thought was the worst wreck of the year. Tyler Hendricks was leading early on when Shawn Thompson passed him down the backchute. When they got to turn 3 Hendricks and Finlay got together and Findlay went piling hard into the wall, utterly destroying the 59 Modified. It was almost two months before we saw Finlay on the track again.The "Flying Doughnut" award goes to Chris, the fronstretch gate keeper. In the mdst of the Transmission Direct Endurance Feature on Aug 15th, Stephen Richmond lost a tire on his 10 car on the frontstretch and it went bouncing high and over the fence. In a magnificent display of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, Chris caught the tire right in the shoulder as he was trying to get out of the way. A few scratches and bruises ensued, and a trip to Race-Med later, Chris was right back at his post.

How about an award for the flagman who tried to jump out of the way of an errant chaos car?

Good call. That one slipped past me.

How about the use of the word "Catastrophic" the most times in a broadcast night?

We razz John a lot, but he's still the best in the biz as far as the Ontario scene goes.

And yes, he certainly did use it a lot at the beginning of the season.
