JM485 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I think that both options could work well. I see the advantages to multiple rounds of voting, but I also see the advantages of having a single round as well. Whatever we do, a decision needs to be made so we can get the voting underway. I'm fine with whatever is chosen, I'm just an impatient person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM485 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Any updates on this? If we are not going to do a vote that's fine, I just wanted to know what the plan is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hi Josh, Nick has set up a new poll in 'Under Glass' http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82840 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM485 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Ha, I'm dumb and luckily another member sent me a pm telling me it was there. Not sure how I missed that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Any thing on the choices for 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) A few of us have done some brainstorming. Nick will make his final decision, but if he goes with what we discussed I think everyone will be pleased. 2014 will be the 7th running of the Cannonball CBP and was originally started on the other magazine forum. Since coming to MCM out participation has tripled. We see more builders interested every year. This years field of 22 racers on the starting line is a record for the CBP and I personally hope it continues to grow. I'm pretty sure I'll be participating next year.

TFchronos Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Congratulations Pat! It's one of the finest rolling rust buckets I've ever seen, above and beyond amazing job on it. And to everyone else, we may not have won the popularity vote but I think we're all still winners for making it to the start line. Amazing entries everyone! And a big thanks to Nick for running it this year and next year, you done good. I look forward to seeing you all there next year and all the shenanigans that will surely follow.

Lunajammer Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) A belated congrats to Pat, Nick and all those who outraced the other noble contenders. For all those who didn't make it to the start line, if you choose to finish them I'd sure like to see a final shot here of how they ended up.
