Wow, that one looks much worse than the three at Barber.
http://www.racer.com/championship-contenders-unveil-new-izod-indycar-series-trophy/article/179852/
I don't get it. If you are going to make an icon for your series why on earth would you commission a smaller version of an installation at an Alabama road course?
I am very surprised that they didn't mention that the trophy is a take on Ted Gall's The Chase at Barber. The IndyCar version really looks to be in serious pain, perhaps Gall was inspired by the pain and sorrow of all the AOW racing fans. Now my question is did he make a new sculpture for the trophy or was that an un-used test model for The Chase?
And then there is the professionalism of the IndyCar press office where they kept talking up the wood base of that thing and yet they spelled it incorrectly every single time. It is African Padauk not Pedauk.

From the cognescenti who recognize it as a rip off to the illiterati who just think it's dude with a giant (what the H is that on the front?) falling off a wheel. Who's gonna like it?
I find it revolting. :yuck: I don't like the image and I don't like the material it's made of. In fact, it's sort of appropriate for exactly how I feel about the whole League. It's embarrassing. No wonder Power can't keep a straight face.

It's like they are idiot savants with special powers. You'd think just by random chance they would occasionally get something right, but you'd be wrong. These folks are capable of getting it wrong 100% of the time which is superhuman. :gomer: An appropriate trophy would be a large 1960's era douche bag with a dangling nozzle because they like tradition so much....

She's dwarfed by the two boobs in Honda shirts.
Looks like Death coming for the IRL on a unicycle with his hands in the air as if to ask, WTF happened?

Mrs. Manic compared it to a "Steam Punk zombie Blade clone on a runaway Wheel-O"...

Shes in Victory lane after every IRL race standing there awkwardly next to the winner while he is being interviewed. She just kinda sticks her face in and shes obviously not the guy's wife/girlfriend so you're just thinking WTF is with this random hot chick sticking her head in here and smiling?

Dear God, I thought the first post was a joke involving a bad Photoshop session. :yuck:
Is that really supposed to be an award for accomplishing something? (Define "award," "accomplishing," and "something" as they apply to the formerly-known-as-the-IRL.) :saywhat:
"The drivers were really tired of getting bowling trophies," Gall said. "They're bowls or something that doesn't relate to what they're doing. IZOD has gone beyond other sports.
Somehow I doubt that, but....Of all the possible issues with the IRL, I am glad they chose to fix this one. :shakehead
Rather than give out the run-of-the-mill trophy, they're giving artwork to the drivers about what they are."
And this shows they are....???? :confused:

Not that I'm an expert, but TrueBrit may be right on this one. Something just doesn't seem right, proportionately speaking.

Thanks in advance.

They both seem to be wearing bras of some kind, I'd volunteer to investigate further but I fear the event has ended. My real point was concerning the Izod bimbos and my dislike of the surgically-enhanced Holstein look.

Since this topic has veered off into trophy wife category, which is more interesting of course, has anyone else here looked over at their beloved one day and asked, "When the **** did you get old?"

I checked in on the race during a break in petit le mans. Honestly I have seen bigger crowds on a saturday night at flemington speedway to watch the local modifieds. They only sold tickets in 1 section about 200 feet wide and even that was half full. Of course it comes as no surprise to us but this was bad even by their standards...
