David,
It's your trophy and therefore, your choice! You can't please everybody but
I'm sure there's more potential winners in piston driven machines than not.
Personally, I think this idea is more in line with the spirit and heritage
of your magazine. Since I won't be a contender till 2003, you'll have
plenty of time to get mine engraved.
Grib (and his big imagination)

> Since I'm sitting here editing the story, I thought I'd delve into
self-promotion and let you all know that the December 2001 issue of Hot Rod
will have a story on all the cars that have won the Hot Rod trophy at
Bonneville since 1949. For those who do not know, this perennial award goes
to the racer with the fastest one-way pass at Speed Week. The issue goes on
sale November 6th.

> Also, beginning in 2001, we've (Gray Baskerville and myself) decided that
the trophy will only go to piston-driven, wheel-driven vehicles. That's a
bit of a conflict, since it's already gone to Vesco's Turbinator twice. Any
opinions?
