In the Chicago area (Chicago Region - SCCA & Tri-State Sports Car Council) we
give our competitors and option of a standard trophy/plaque or a "Chit". The
Chit is a coupon redeemable for the next two events or next year's season
pre-registration. In Chicago Region, the chits are worth $5.00 no matter what
finishing position. In TSSCC, the chit are worth $8.00 for first and $5.00 for
the remaining positions.
It makes good business sense for the clubs to give away chits since they are
cheaper than trophies and not all of the chits are redeemed during the year.
Usually the people who do not have any more wall space for more trophies or who
really like bang for your buck choose the chit.
Otherwise, we are also looking for new ideas for our standard trophies/plaques.

Subject: Trophies
The St. Louis region is look for something different than the usual trophy for
1st,2nd, etc. In the past, beer glass (1st) to coffee mugs (3rd), small
plaques, hat pins and small trophies have been awarded. An award is usually
given out for each event, series of nine events. Looking for item or award
that is either used, placed on shelf but not thrown in a box. The cost is
also a factor. Last year 225 first place and 100 other place awards were
given out. We also award real trophies -- plaques at year-end for each
class.
What do other region use for awards for each event? If awards are not given
out, then what type of year-end award is presented? Any ideas?
