[Black_Bird_99]

In 2008, The award structure was as follows:

Class Awards:
All Firebirds split by generations as follows:
1st gen 1967-1969
2nd gen-1: 1970-1976
2nd gen-2: 1977-1981
3rd gen: 1982-1992
4th gen: 1993-2002

In each generation class, we provided trophies for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place.
Then we provided oval plaque awards to 4th, 5th, and 6th place.
For the largest classes we provided ovals for 7th and 8th place.

Special Awards:
We also gave out:
Special Olympics Athlete's choice
Special Olympics Coaches' choice
Mangino Pontiac Dealer's choice
Saratoga Auto Museum Director's choice
The Joe Nolan award
Jumbo Best of Show trophy

Special Olympics Participant Ribbons:
Our Athletes also gave out 25 Participant Ribbons to their Favorite Firebirds!

This year, we may change the Class award structure, but it is not yet firm. We may split all the above Classes (not the specials) into a stock class and a modified class, then eliminate 4th-9th place ovals, and give out 1st-3rd place trophies for the stock and modified classes.

So it would go something like:
1st gen 1967-1969 Stock
1st gen 1967-1969 Modified

2nd gen-1: 1970-1976 Stock
2nd gen-1: 1970-1976 Modified

2nd gen-2: 1977-1981 Stock
2nd gen-2: 1977-1981 Modified

3rd gen: 1982-1992 Stock
3rd gen: 1982-1992 Modified

4th gen: 1993-2002 Stock
4th gen: 1993-2002 Modified

Stock classes are for cars that are factory correct.
Modified classes are all cars that are non-stock: for example, non-stock paint flame job, non-stock wheels, nitrous

Plus we would keep the Special awards and participant ribbons.

Is that what you are suggesting?

Keep in mind, this is not yet firm. We would like some feedback from the Firebird / participant community.

Anyone please feel free to jump in with your suggestions.

Thanks,
Tom.
