While [at the CCE meeting], I learned that the CORSA BoD will be 
offering replacement trophies to those Car Display winners (victims?) 
who wish to have less offensive ones. Since I was not in attendance at 
the MA event and did not see the "offensive" awards, I have no further 
comment on the matter.

I now comment:

JR (and everyone else), if you did not see the "offensive" awards you 
can see them on the convention blog, http://corsa2012.blogspot.com.  And 
I WILL comment further on the matter.  Speaking personally, as a member 
of the group who created these awards the only thing I find offensive is 
that the CORSA BoD would even give a moment's thought to second-guessing 
the good-faith work of volunteers after the fact, and would disrespect 
the sincere efforts of those volunteers by expending monies to offer 
replacement trophies.

I am sorry if anyone whose car was voted one of the best by popular 
choice felt that they were a "victim."  Of the nearly 200 cars entered 
in the display I am sure that there were plenty of owners who would have 
liked to be so victimized.
