Matt,
New England Region gave out T-shirts to each member at the first event that
they showed up at. (We kept a list to make sure that there were no duplicates)
On the front of the shirt was a well know NER Solo car (Bill Gendron's B-Mod
car) On the back we put the schedule of events. Trophy's were iron-ons of
1st, 2nd, or 3rd that were placed on the shirt, next to the event date that
applied to the trophy.
At the end of the year we also gave out trophies to the top people in each
class.
