Santa Pod Racers Club Perpetual Awards for the 2021 season
Santa Pod Racers Club and Eurodragster.com are again teaming up to give readers the chance of input to the SPRC Perpetual Awards, which will be presented at the SPRC Dinner Dance and Trophy Presentation on 29th January 2022. The votes of Eurodragster.com
readers will be taken into consideration when the SPRC Committee decides upon its winners.
For several of the 2021 season awards, shortlists have been decided for which votes can be submitted by E-Mail.
How to vote
The shortlists for the Perpetual Awards will be published on a regular basis starting on Monday 6th December 2021. Nominations for
the Alex Brachtvogel Memorial Trophy will be accepted starting on the same date and throughout the voting period.
To submit a vote, click on the link under the name for which you would like to vote. An E-Mail will
automatically be generated with your chosen name in the title; all you then need to do is to hit the
Send button.
If the E-Mail is not automatically generated with your chosen name in the title then simply send an E-Mail
to [email protected] giving the
category (Most Promising Newcomer, Best-Appearing Car, Best-Appearing Bike etc) as the subject of the E-Mail and the
name of the person for whom you wish to vote in the body of the E-Mail.
One vote per E-Mail address will be accepted for each Award. Voting is per Award, so for example when you have voted
for Most Promising Newcomer then you may of course vote for Best-Appearing Car, Best-Appearing Bike and so on.
Please note that blatant attempts at organising mass votes - for example asking workmates, forum members or Facebook
friends to vote en masse - are easily identified and all such votes will be disallowed as they have been in previous years.
Concerted attempts at vote-rigging will result in the nominee being removed from the shortlist whether or not that nominee
had any knowledge or involvement.

ALEX BRACHTVOGEL MEMORIAL TROPHY
This trophy was first awarded to Santa Pod Raceway's late Chief Marshal, Alex Brachtvogel, in 2001 to mark his outstanding contribution
to Santa Pod Raceway and the sport as a whole. After Alex's death the trophy was named in his memory and continues to be awarded for
contribution to drag racing.
There is no shortlist for the Alex Brachtvogel award. Nominations are invited for racers, race officials, track and safety crews, club
officials, media, or anyone else who has contributed to the sport. Last year the trophy was awarded to Julian Parsons for Nitro FM and many other duties around Santa Pod.
