Ramjam Awards and Trophys
Hey Guys, Need some ideas for Awards for ramjam. Such as "Shortest trip", "Longest Trip", "Coolest Truck" , Uglest Truck" Etc Etc
While Noah is figuring out the events which we will have trophys for, I'm trying to figure out Basic awards to give out.
So what are yalls Ideas?
I think we can have a Voting Box For everyone to vote all weekend on each award.
Oldest truck, newest, rarest, prettiest, ugliest, and biggest. Who drove the longest distance, hosting prizes, and random door prizes. There is also my favorite, best 2WD truck :laughing7:.
Mine should get the best rebuilt Dodge!!! :laughing4: :headbang: :happy7:
At some point I will build something with some busted axle shafts/ & whatever else I find for a Worst Broke trophy, ( if ya don't like it just chunk it in scrap iron pile) Also gonna donate a set of Hooker headers as door prize. Will also try and get the door prize tickets & get them to Ernest or Ron before Ram Jam since I won't make it.
My 2 cents...longest trip, tallest truck, smallest truck, most carnage, most helpful
Don't forget the Danger Dave award!!!!

Don't worry im sure we will have that award for sure!
Those are the kinda awards im talking about rather then the standard big truck little truck award. Maybe we can put are brains together and come up with some more fitting unique names.
Such as rather them "Trail Blazer" Or "Longest Drive" Award Why not the " Adventurer Award" - Dodge Themed and giving to the person that either drove the furthest or was the most adventrurest on the trail (i.e. Drove the most trails or took the most random trails.
Here are some of my Ideas For Award Plaques. Trophys will be giving for the events depending on what noah comes up with.
Adventurer Award- Most adventurous on the trail , Took the most trails, Wheeled the most
Danger Dave Award- " What Would Danger Dave Do?" Most *^%#$*@ Crazy Driver
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis? "Screwed Award"- AKA Hard luck , Bad Luck........ Possibly ended up in a fence luck
Top Hand Award- Most helpful, Best Mechanic, Always There to help someone out when something Broke.
Trail Duster Award- Made it look easy, No problems, Flew through the trails
I thought about it and the coolest, newest, rarest, prettiest, ugliest,tallest truck, smallest truck awards all end up being a popularity contest and really have nothing to do with the person driving. I thought by doing this we might reward the person and personatlity of the person and truck rather then just the truck. I figure if you want a award for a cool truck go to a car show.
Also since on this last outing we had some very colorful and vocal passengers / Co drivers / instegators. I thought we could do a award for the people that couldn;t drive but hitch a ride with someone on the trail.
Riding Shotgun Award- Most helpful passenger
BackSeat Driver Award- Biggest instegator and overall back seat driver
What do yall think? Honest opinions?
I'm liking the new names. I like for things to be creative and be different for a change. If I wanted the same boring thing. I'd stay in town. Just my opinion :13:
if your going there with passengers maybe we can figure out how to have a chicken brake award?
granted that would be like anyone that rode with Dave :laughing7:
maybe rename the
What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?
to the FORD - Fixed or repaired Daily :evil6:
could be fun if we could think of awards like that using car names; but also might be hard as hell
CHEVY - Climbing Hills engine Vrooming yodeler
Ok that might be a lot harder than I was thinking :laughing7:
You guys are nuts...,but this is going to be so much fun. :violent1:
Ive been doing some emailing to some of the most dedicated members and Contribtuing members at RCC about Ramjam Sponsorship.
ive messaged
mad max ( sam)- at ASA Modified
mopar- at B&A Precsion
Jungle - at Jungle Fabrications
Ive directed them over here also since they can show us their products and contribute to the mopar community with out the over head cost that the new owners at RCC have done.
My idea is to do some sponsored event trophys and Awards.
For Example- And these are just example since I havnt confirmed any sponsors.
The Bob's Fabrication "Trail Duster Award"
So the Award would say some thing to the nature of
RAMJAM 2013
"Trail Duster Award"
These Trails are just too easy
Sponsored by Bob's Fabrication
And anything thing that would be donated by Bob's Fabrication. So a award plaque could be giving out along with a 10% Discount to Bob's Fabrication or a product from Bob's Fabrication. What ever the company would like to contribute.
I don;t want to presure sponsors to think they need to donate expensive products especially are member owned companys. If they want to contribute a 10%-50% off gift card for one of their products. Great! If they want to Donate one of there Products. Great!! Hell if they just want to send a bunch of company stickers. Great!
I think they can contribute in any way they feel they want too.
Good ideas. I have some radio stuff I'll donate and a couple other things. :dance: Together we can make it something to remember. :icon_salut:
would it be wrong to have a ramcharger.net sponsored award? :13:

I dont think so at all :D
Now to think of something to give away :icon_scratch:
Why not a t-shirt or sticker?
hmm had not thought of that... yeah we could try to get some of those made up, I need to get the design finished up for the RJ t shirts and stickers.
And, assuming we will get a banner made, we usually give it away too.
I have access to some exotic Ipe wood from South America to make small plaque backing if needed. The cut offs that I can access would make pieces 3" x 5" or smaller. If we had engraved metal plates they can be attached with some small screws but the wood is very hard.
It's the stuff my pickup bed is made out of. It doesn't varnish well but a light oil brings out the grain just as good.

Hmmmmm.... how about a 5.9? :headbang:
I have a torn down 5.9 that is needing a crank, but that's it :dontknow:
maybe your thinking a 408? and not a snowballs chance in hell of that :evil6:
Great ideas :13:
I just looked it up, apparently a 408 is 6.7L
thats a big increase from a 5.9!!
Okay, a 6.7 sounds like a good prize.. :13:
I do have a big block 727 for a 4x4. :13:

:laughing4:
I can let you look at a 6.7, maybe even touch it.... if I got hog wild I might let someone drive it ( I have not decided if my wife can drive it yet)
but there is not a snow ball's chance in hell of that being anywhere but my driveway... that includes the truck its in :evil6:
Ahhh shucks.... :crybaby2:
We could always build a truck from scrap parts. Franken-Charger build.
So have decided on all the awards? Any more Ideas?
We just got to figure out the event trophies now
Any new thoughts or ideas on this guys????
one trophy could be a jar of mud? or maybe a decent size rock... that is if we have a who got stuck the most :evil6:
Well I think Ive figured out what the award / trophy is going to be. I just need to know how many I need to get. How many awards are we going to give out? How many events are we going to have?
Any other ideas or suggestions? If not when i get home in two weeks I will start getting together the awards/ trophies
