2011 SRD End of the Year Awards Nomination Thread

[PepsiRacer4]

I'm sure all of you remember the Awards thread from last year and it's coming back again. It will also be accompanied by an MU which will make it's official and permanent return. Anyways below are the categories for whomever you want to nominate for people and moments. I hope we get alot of turnouts this year like the previous one. I'd also like for people you nominate put a small reason why you nominated them, for events that happened it doesn't matter. If there's anything wrong let me know and I'll fix it.

If any mod could sticky this, that'd be nice.

 

[4WideRacing]

This year is going to be a lot harder then last year for me to pick. Is there a deadline?

SRD Member of the Year: The SRD Staff for the Nationwide Mod release and for putting up with all of the 'when will it come out' posts. But if we have to nominate just one...Chevellion, for his management of the SRD Cup league, starting the SRD Offline stuff, and setting the bar for how an offline league is run, imo.

This dude busted his butt with Pick 'Em, Power Rankings, and the SRD Indy League. Mike is a true workhorse, and it showed this year.

Most Improved Member From 2011: Tim2488
Went from barely posting, to a regular on here.


Breakout User of the Year: Phantomguy24
I remember helping him with his first paints, and then he sorta got better than me. Oh and he's on the paint crew, now too.

Craziest Member of the Year: 4WideRacing
I'll be 100% honest here, if the thread involved a Toyota, 4Wide was going nuts. Not a bad thing though...most of the time.

Member To Watch Out For In 2012: I don't know, can't tell the future.

Newbie User Who's Made An Impact: Phantomguy24
Same reasoning as before. Plus really made himself known with his 2012 Toyota temps.

Moment of the Year (Board): SRD NNS Release
Honestly, if there was something bigger than this, I missed it. The entire Sim Racing Community exploded when the mod was released.

SRD Painting Awards:

Best Non-Crew Painter of the Year: Clutch
The Mopar Master, Clutch's 'Million-Layer' paints are second to none.

Best Crew Painter of the Year: Italo Rapacci
Comes up with some of the craziest paints. Can't wait to see what's in store for 2012.

Painter to Watch out for in 2012: PepsiRacer4
Ty really made his ability known with the BR11 NNS set. Wonder what's up his sleeve for next year.

His videos make ESPN presentation guys jealous. Always anticipating the next release from him.

James was a sleeper all year when it came to renders, but this one, and the other scene he made (which I forget what exactly it was lol) were pretty insane.

Most Helpful Renderer: Andy1
Hey, whenever you needed a render, he was there. Gotta give him props for that.

Auto Racing Awards:

Moment of the Year (NASCAR): The tie for the Sprint Cup title!!!!
'nuff said.

Moment of the Year (Other auto racing): J.R. Hildebrand Wrecking on the final lap of the Indy 500, handing the win to Dan Wheldon
At the time, it was a 'What the Hell just Happened?!?!?' moment, but after the events at the end of the season, everyone realized that it was just Danny Boy's time to grab one more Indy 500.

Best Paint Scheme of the Year (NASCAR): David Ragan's 'Ned Jarrett Tribute' ride from Indy
Really cool scheme, too bad they took the white wheels off after the first round of pit stops.

Best Paint Scheme of the Year (Other auto racing): Greg Murphy's Pepsi Max Holden V8 Supercar
Coolest V8 Livery ever.

Agree??

Driver to Look Out for (NASCAR): Elliott Sadler
I think with the added support of RCR and CWTS Champion Austin Dillon to help ESad this year, I think he can make a run for the title.

Driver to Look out for (Other auto racing): Charlie Kimball
Just have a feeling about Charlie. I mean, usually when Mr. Ganassi signs an Indy driver, they usually turn out to be pretty damn good. (See Dixon, Scott; Franchitti, Dario; Briscoe, Ryan...lol)
