  • 2020 Outstanding Proxy Recognition

    As I was sitting here with my family I was reflecting on what a “special “ year 2020 has been. I know for one that through Proxy racing it has brought many of us together in a special way.
    The pandemic has brought out new ways to communicate with each other like Zoom presentations, creative video presentations, events that have covered venues around the world that have been featured here on HRW (Thanks Harry we could not have done it without you). We have seen events held in Canada, USA, Australia Greece in times when many of us could not cross our own state borders. Participants have been from near and far.
    What if we take a few moments and reflect on recognizing events and people that have made this hobby special for many of us.
    I was thinking of some of the following...

    Best Proxy Host
    Most Prestigious Proxy Series
    Great Proxy Ambassador
    Event of the Year
    New Proxy Host of the Year
    Best New Proxy of the Year
    Longest Running Event
    Newest Addition to Share Ideas of the Hobby
    Proxy Participant of the Year
    Technical Content Contributor


    It would be fun to look back and but down some thoughts without doing polls....

    So here is my attempt at
    Best Proxy Host CGY Racer
    Most Prestigious Proxy Series. GT3
    Great Proxy Ambassador Arroldn
    Event of the Year. 2020 GT3 Round 0
    New Proxy Host of the Year Brumos
    Best New Proxy of the Year Tie between Trans Am U2.0 and Ford vs Ferrari
    Longest Running Event DaVols NASCAR Proxy
    Newest Addition to Share Ideas of the Hobby Zoom Weekly Call
    Proxy Participant of the Year Brumos
    Technical Content Contributor Tie between Superslab and Chris Guy W

    And a special call out to all the builders, hosts and suppliers who allow us to continue to enjoy our special Hobby.

    Please all be safe and enjoy your time with family this holiday season
    Aloha

              Yeah my cars didn't do to well that year. My Ford was 21st and my Ferrari was 25th out of 26 cars. I think I build a better car today. Redlynr was the champ with 5 wins. Twice as many Fords in the field 17.

              No, it wasn't the same. In 2016 we ran "any" Ford or Ferrari from around that time; that's why you see the Ferrari 250 GTO SWB car in the proxy logo. This one was for the cars that ran in the November, 2019 movie only. Same theme, but some different cars.

            Very nice! Congratulations! Looks like some different interesting cars in that proxy.
