I attended my local region's awards banquet this past January. I don't believe it was advertised as such, but that's what it turned out to be. Autocross awards. They called out the winners, brought them up on the stage, then handed out small trophies to applause from the sizable crowd. It felt like half of the folks in attendance were awarded a trophy. I sat there in agony. Where were the trophies for the Club racers?!?! Needless to say, it left a very bad taste in my mouth.

When we used to run our club race at Carolina Motorsports Park, we had pretty nice glass trophies, many years ago. We even got "reprimanded" by the National Race staff for them...lol.. but we did them anyway.
We had a trophy sponsor (thank you Autometrics!) who, like us, believed that a nice momento of a job well done was worth it. Some racers even told us that they race our race specifically because we had cool trophies. Whether that was true or not, don't know, but we insisted on having them.

so much room in my office now for kid pictures! 
Way better than a trophy, I made the cover of PCA magazine (in SECOND place), and 5 other pictures in the magaizine.

I have always thought PCA National should support and maintain a design of a "medal" that can be made available to the hosting regions National could contract with 1 vendor to get a good discount then Regions order from that vendor. If medal details were limited to PCA Racing Logo and 1st-2nd-3rd place these medals could be used in following years so no medal or budget waste add a Region specific lanyard to identify race and location.
Just a thought
