Best Customized Trophy Manufacturers in India  -  Awards & Trophy

Winning the popular trophies happens to be the dream of every sports champion. It takes a lot for winning the sports trophy. Be it the individual sports or the team play, trophies have an additional lighthearted side. The commentators of the game provide basic information about a specific Customized Trophy during sports. However, the other side of the coin is that a plethora of interesting stories are associated with every trophy which in general are not broadcasted on television. Here is a list of some of the lesser-known but interesting facts about few of the well-renowned sporting trophies.

Theft of FIFA World Cup Trophy

The Jules Rimet Trophy contributes to being the trophy which is offered to be the FIFA World Cup Winner that is conducted after every four years. It is recognized to be the highest international honor in the field of soccer. It was in the year 1966 when it became the most sought-after object of Scotland. The year when World Cup was supposed to start in the country of England, this Customized Trophy got stolen several months before from an exhibition, held at London. One day after the trophy was stolen, there was a demand for a huge ransom. Though Scotland Yard went for the ransom exchange and a suspect was found for the theft, they fail to get the trophy back. After six days, it was found by a man, who was walking with his dog.

The FIFA World Cup Trophy went missing again

Brazil won the World Cup Trophy three times. After winning the cup in the year of 1970 for the third time, the Jules Rimet Trophy was awarded to Brazil in perpetuity. It was again in 1983 when the cup went missing from the headquarters of Brazilian Soccer Confederation. This time, the trophy could not be recovered at any cost. In fact, it is missing until today. A lot of people have the notion that the cup was melted into the gold bars after which it was sold by the drug trafficker.

A bottle of milk is given to the Indianapolis 500 winner

If an individual becomes a winner of Indianapolis 500, his name gets added to the towering Borg-Warner Customized Trophy. However, this is not the end of it. The winner also receives a bottle of milk. This tradition can be dated back in the year 1936 when Louis Meyer, the winner wanted a fresh glass of buttermilk. According to the story, the mother of the winner asked him to drink buttermilk during the summer days. Thus, the bottle of milk was given in honor of her advice. At present, a dairy industry sponsor awards the bottle in the victory lane.

The fans were enraged when Fittipaldi did not drink it

Though Emerson Fittipaldi, the Brazilian driver has earned a somewhat high reputation in the field of racing, the fans got pissed off with him in the year of 1993 as he drank orange juice in lieu of the milk after winning the Indy 500 in the victory lane. Though the fans were really angry with him, he thought it was a matter of business for him. Fittipaldi was the owner of the citrus farm in the country of Brazil during the time and according to him, he was just promoting one of the biggest industries of the country by drinking the orange juice.

The Ashes Trophy

The winner of cricket Test Series that was held between Australia and England has earned more than just reputation. The team who won the game was presented with the replica of the trophy and award that come to be known as The Ashes. It is a unique Customized Trophy which is recognized to be the small urn. The original is present from the year 1929 in Cricket Museum, at the Marylebone Cricket Club. The joke had its origin from the notice in the year of 1882 in the Sporting Times when English cricket was declared dead after a specific dreadful Test Series, that was played against Australia.

The field of professional sports is filled with intriguing legends. There is no exception to the rule when it comes to sporting Customized Trophies . Bespoke Trophy manufacturers are fond of these players and thus we offer assistance to our clients in the creation of these custom awards and trophies.

Dick Enberg lit up the world by being willing to make others the stars

New Post has been published on https://usnewsaggregator.com/sport/dick-enberg-lit-up-the-world-by-being-willing-to-make-others-the-stars/

Dick Enberg lit up the world by being willing to make others the stars

On a late February Sunday afternoon in 1989, Duke and Arizona played a basketball game in the New Jersey Meadowlands that was telecast on NBC.

Dick Enberg and Al McGuire worked the game. It was their 12th season together, and they had become close friends. After the game, they went into New York to have dinner at Smith and Wollensky, the great East Side steak house.

I tagged along, knowing the food would be excellent and the stories and good wine would flow into the night.

It was late when Enberg began telling the story about how he had met his wife Barbara and how she had transformed his life at a time when, as he put it, “I doubted whether I could fall in love again.”

Al and I listened, and after a few minutes, we noticed something: Dick was crying. He didn’t stop talking, just kept on: still crying, saying again and again how grateful he was that, somehow, she had found enough good in him to marry him.

I’m guessing, but I’m willing to bet when Dick Enberg died Thursday at the age of 82, Barbara Enberg was still finding plenty of good in her husband of 34 years.

More than anything else, that genuine goodness may explain the magic Enberg brought to a telecast.

Oh sure, he was the consummate television pro: His preparation was meticulous; his understanding of every sport he ever took on always had depth. Even when NBC asked him to add golf, a sport he really wasn’t that familiar with, he made it sound like he was born to sit in an 18th hole tower.

That’s why it’s no surprise that when word of Enberg’s death began to spread on Friday morning, Pinehurst Resort, sent out a tweet that included Enberg’s call of Payne Stewart’s historic putt to win the 1999 U.S. Open.

“We’re saddened to hear of the passing of the great Dick Enberg, who had the classic call of what is perhaps Pinehurst’s finest moment,” the tweet read. “#OhMy.”

[‘He’s a Mount Rushmore guy’: Dick Enberg remembered as sports broadcasting’s versatile gentleman]

Enberg didn’t bring out his signature line for first-down catches in the second quarter or for a break of serve in the first set. He saved it for the right time. When Enberg said “Oh My,” you knew something special had just happened.

Enberg knew a moment when he saw it and made it his own without ever becoming hysterical. No one was better at calling attention to the event and at making his partners better, whether it was McGuire or Billy Packer or Merlin Olsen or Bud Collins or Johnny Miller or the slew of color commentators he worked with through the years whether on basketball, football, tennis, baseball or golf.

The first time I met him was at the 1968 Holiday Festival in New York. He was UCLA’s play-by-play man, and I was a kid who loved collecting autographs. During the second game of the championship night tripleheader, the UCLA players sat in the stands, watching the third-place game, and I worked my way among them getting their signatures, including the one I wanted most: Lew Alcindor.

One of the players, Sidney Wicks, nodded at Enberg as he signed for me (his signature, I remember, was huge) and said, “You need him: Mr. Enberg. He’s our announcer.” I walked over and asked Enberg to sign my book.

He gave me that smile that always lit up his face and said, “Who told you to ask me? Sidney?”

Then, as he signed, he leaned over and said, “Did you get Lew? If not, I can help you out.”

I had Lew, but it was quite an offer from a stranger to a 12-year-old boy.

For years, I thought of Enberg as “the voice of the Rams and the Angels,” because that’s the way he was introduced during the nine years he hosted, “Sports Challenge,” a quiz show with star athletes trying to answer trivia questions. Then he became far more than that when he went to work fulltime for NBC doing the NFL, tennis and college basketball.

I was lucky enough to be covering national college basketball games for The Post during the magical three-year reign of Enberg, McGuire and Packer as the voices of the game. Almost every Saturday night, at the site of NBC’s weekly national telecast, I would sit in a hotel bar and listen to the three argue and tell stories. Even then, Enberg was always the traffic cop between McGuire and Packer.

I often did the same thing while travelling in Europe with Enberg and Collins, who were closer-than-close. In 1990, when Bud’s wife Mary Lou died of cancer, the first person to fly east to be with Bud and help him through the funeral was Enberg.

“I’m not sure I could have made it without Dick,” Bud said later.

Because he was so good for so long in so may sports, people often lost track of Enberg’s accomplishments. He did Super Bowls, Olympics, Final Fours, World Series, major tennis and golf tournaments. He did essays and commentaries in his later years and wrote a one-man show based on his experiences with McGuire — called “Coach” — that is still staged frequently around the country.

He and Collins essentially invented “Breakfast at Wimbledon” in 1979, when the notion of televising a major sporting event at 9 a.m. on a Saturday was considered a huge risk.

Dick loved to tell the story about Bud “saving” the first “Breakfast,” the men’s final between Bjorn Borg and Roscoe Tanner.

“We were coming on the air at 9 — 2 o’clock in London,” Enberg recalled. “Wimbledon tradition was that the match was to start at 2 p.m precisely, meaning the players were to walk on court at 1:52. We wanted to open the telecast with the players walking on court live and taking their bows to the Royal Box.

“Wimbledon waits for no man. Bud went and found Donald Dell, who was his pal and Tanner’s agent. He told Donald to stall somehow. Well, a minute before they were supposed to go on, Roscoe suddenly had to go to the bathroom. It took a while. The players walked on at — you guessed it — 2 p.m. precisely, just as we came on-air.”

Enberg’s eyes sparkled whenever he told that story. He loved to tell stories about how good his partners were. Enberg was never the hero of an Enberg story.

It has always been my belief that, as many awards and honors as he received, Enberg never got his full due — in part because of his willingness to let his analysts be the stars.

When he retired from calling San Diego Padres games in 2016, his exit went almost un-noticed in most places because he chose to leave on the same day that Vin Scully did his last broadcast for the Dodgers.

The broadcasting and print awards given out by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame are named for Curt Gowdy. Enberg was a winner of the Gowdy Award. It should have been the other way around.

The College Sports Information Directors of America do have an award named for Enberg, but somehow it feels as if there should be something more — something that combines his work in all sports. Perhaps it should go to someone who combines doing consistently superb work with being a better person than he is a broadcaster.

The plaque should read: “In honor of Dick Enberg, a great broadcaster; a better man — who spent a lifetime making someone else the star.”

How The Hemi & Today’s Demon Got Its Start At Indy in ‘61!

As I walked through the sprawling acreage of Lucas Oil Raceway Park (better known as Indianapolis Raceway Park/IRP) during the 2017 NHRA Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals, I tried to imagine what IRP was like during Labor Day of 1961. That’s when “absolutely, beyond a shadow of doubt…the most important drag race in Chrysler history” took place right there on the very soil beneath my feet. That race, run 56 years ago, was directly responsible for the 2018 Dodge SRT Demon Drag Race Simulator I was on hand to help promote.

The quote above came from the late Mopar engineering/racing legend Tom Hoover, and describes an impromptu match race between the new 409 Impala of “Dyno” Don Nicholson and the Ramchargers’ long-ram 413-equipped Dodge Dart Seneca. Though Nicholson’s 409 had defeated Ramchargers driver Al Eckstrand earlier in the hour due to the Dart’s balky three-speed manual transmission, in the time lull between classes the crowd began to chant “re-match, re-match, re-match.” Without the inflexible scheduling caused by modern live TV-broadcast race coverage, the pace was more leisurely and track officials decided “why not.”

Nicholson and Eckstrand quickly returned to the starting line, the flagman moved, both cars pounced, the Ram’s pin-type A239 transmission synchronizers actually cooperated and the full-size C-Body Dodge won by a car length, cranking off a low 13-second e.t. At the time, factory Super Stock machines were the latest thing. Never before did “stock” passenger cars offer so much power. Door slammers suddenly attracted as many spectators as traditional open-wheel race cars.

As Nicholson and Eckstrand pulled onto the return road, the crowd shouted “one more, one more, one more” and by radio the timing tower told the finish line workers to send both cars back to the starting line, pronto! Again, they launched side by side but when Eckstrand rammed the shift lever forward, up and to the right for the 1-2 upshift, the darned A239 ‘box balked and Nicholson’s bowtie took the race, its superior but fragile Borg Warner T-10 4-speed helping a bunch.

But the winning race was photographed heavily and images soon appeared in National Dragster, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Motor Trend and others. In those pre-Internet days, car magazines were even more influential than they are today, and when newly appointed Chrysler Corp. president Lynn Townsend saw them, he wanted more.

Townsend was part of a new breed of auto executives with names like Iacocca, Wangers, Knudsen, Beltz, and others. These fresh thinking corporate chiefs sought to tap into the baby boom market with exciting, youthful offerings. For his part, it helped that Townsend’s teenaged sons kept him up to date on what models were making waves on Woodward Ave. and in the pages of the popular car magazines of the day. Long story short, the Nicholson/Eckstrand run was the match that lit the fuse on the 1962 Max Wedge and 1964 Race Hemi development programs.

Without that singular race and the resulting flood of magazine ink, Hoover and his like-minded band of race engineers might have been shown the door. That’s because another kind of ink—red ink—encircled Chrysler Corporation in 1961. Compared to 1960, DeSoto output was down 88 percent, Dodge was down 33.87 percent, Plymouth was down 21.77 percent and Imperial was down 30.81 percent. Only Chrysler had good news, building 24.8 percent more cars than in 1960. One of Townsend’s mandates from shareholders was to make deep cuts in the engineering budget. Yes, many engineers lost their jobs, but Hoover, Eckstrand, and most of the other Ramchargers were spared….thanks to that freak race at Indy.

Getting back to the present day, the core reason for my trip to the 2017 NHRA U.S. Nationals was to host the Dodge SRT Demon Drag Race Simulator inside the manufacturers’ midway. My honored task during the five-day weekend race was to present 15 minute Demon “show and tell” sessions at the top of every hour. After each 15 minutes of Demon cheerleading was completed, I was free to wander until the next show time.

During each presentation, I used the Demon showcase PA system to continually tell the story of that fluke drag race and how today’s Demon is a direct result. So with this nostalgic mindset, let’s wander the Indy grounds and see how this hollowed competition venue has changed the face of drag racing, and how it still influences it today.

Each Demon simulator is plumbed with functional dashboard air blowers to keep riders cool. I used them as a talking point to discuss Demon’s double-duty Super Chiller that diverts A/C function to drop supercharger inlet air temperature a full 45 degrees lower than ambient air, but also keeps passengers cool.

Matt Hagan’s Hemi Charger flip-top helped the Mopar Fast Lane service division celebrate its 80th anniversary by setting the track record at 3.799 seconds and 338.77 mph. When IRP opened in 1961, the Mopar parts and service division (launched in 1937) was a mere 25 years young.

Ron Capps’ NAPA-sponsored Charger was Funny Car runner-up with a 3.949 second, 325.53 mph rip. The quickest and fastest machine at Indy in 1961 was Pete Robinson’s AA/D blown gas dragster at 8.68/169.49. From 1957 through 1963, the NHRA banned nitro at national events. The Ramchargers’ Dart Seneca ran 13.3s at 109.

Many Fuel Funny Car racers are turning to carbon-carbon front disc brakes from Strange Engineering. Truly immune to fade, the hotter they get the harder they bite. If handled by greasy fingers, Strange says to bake the bare rotors in an electric oven “until the stink stops.” That’s when they’re pure again.

The latest application of the Dart nameplate to a drag machine is light years away from the Ram’s ’61 Seneca. The leaf-blower-from-hell look resulted from the NHRA’s adoption of EFI. Allen Johnson’s Hemi Dart will be his final machine. He’s retiring at the end of the 2017 season after over 500 professional race entries.

If it says “Hemi” on the rocker cover, who are we to argue? Note the equally-spaced spark plug tubes on Allen Johnson’s 11,000rpm Pro Stock mill. Our X-ray camera lens broke but the low-in-a-row spark plug tubes suggest “twisted” chamber and canted valve architecture.

The low-high spark plug tube targeting and tapered roof of this Brad Anderson Top Alcohol rocker cover puzzles traditional Hemi spotters. These adjustments allow for pedestal-mounted rocker arms and larger port housings. There are literally hundreds of aftermarket and factory Hemi head variations.

The Big Go East always features a car show. A much more traditional Hemi powers this 1930 five-window Tudor hot rod. The gorgeous blue multi-shade panel paint was applied by Bucky’s Ltd., home of Bucky Hess and his 150mph 1968 SS/AH Hemi Barracuda.

The color-matched Chrysler Fire Power Hemi was built by Ross Racing Engines. Unlike earlier days when a small four-barrel might have hidden inside its GMC 4-71 blower case, this one’s a legitimate belt-boosted street driver. The quartet of Strombergs adds a crowning retro touch.

The 1970-vintage Paris Brothers Top Fuel dragster has been lightly modernized for NHRA cacklefest appearances. Its dual Chrysler “whale motors” have been revitalized with help from Hot Heads, a leader in the Gen-1 Hemi world.

71 superchargers. At the inaugural 1961 NHRA U.S. Indy Nationals, Dode Martin’s “Two Thing”—running side-by-side supercharged V8s—set the meet’s top speed at 177.87 mph. Other multi-engine Top Gas rails on site in ’61 were Jack Chrisman’s Howard Cam Special, Eddie Hill’s dual-Pontiac rig, and Tommy Ivo’s four-engine Show Boat. In the care of Ron Pellegrini, Ivo’s machine made exhibition runs only.

With machined braces to hold the dual Hemis in alignment, a simple steel hub connects the crankshaft snouts and tails.

A Mopar muscle car-sourced Dana 60 rear axle puts the estimated 2,500 horsepower to the ground. Note how the Paris Brothers used the former pinion snubber support and trio of fastener holes to affix a brace merging the rear engine and axle housing to the frame. Truck/van-sourced Dana 60 housings lack the extra metal and raised pad.

Car Craft archives Of the 32 supercharged AA/GD gasoline dragsters competing at the 1968 Indy Nats, three were dual-engine equipped. Here, the 2,150-pound machine of Frakes & Funk (foreground) awaits time trials with Bill Mullins’ 1,950 pounder. Mullins’ best was a 7.72/194.80.

Before Don Garlits’ March 1970 clutch explosion on the Lions starting line, front-engine “diggers” like the Ditmars Brothers machine were the norm. Note the Gen-2 Hemi’s iron block and heads. Though 1965-vintage aluminum A990 heads were also used, many racers felt iron combustion chambers better resisted melting. Iron blocks were the rule because aluminum clones from Keith Black, Milodon, and Donovan didn’t arrive until the early seventies.

Ever since the original Little Red Wagon A100 pickup truck accidentally yanked the front wheels in late 1964 (with Jay Howell at the wheel), well over a hundred racers have followed suit. The 392 Hemi-powered Little Red Fire Truck was on static display but is active on the exhibition circuit.

A far cry from the stock interior of the original Little Red Wagon, the fire rig’s cockpit puts the driver in the center with plenty of see-through mesh flooring. The twin brake controls—floor pedal and hand lever—affect the rear wheels only; the front axle carries no brakes. Note the absence of a passenger seat. As Jay Leno can testify, The Hurst Hemi Under Glass was built for occasional passengers (Google “Leno/Hemi Under Glass crash” to see the shocking result).

In this age of easy-way-out Chevy-powered wheelie machines, it’s good to see an iron Fire Power Hemi and old-school 6-71 huffer. Hot Heads also sponsors this machine.

The owner of this retro-inspired ’63 Dart GT hardtop probably has no clue a similar Dart 170 pillar coupe won C/Factory Experimental (C/FX) at the 1963 Indy Nats. Driven by California police officer Ron Root, its 225 Slant Six was bolstered by an Offy four-barrel intake (not the expected Hyper-Pak). Root ran a 15.12/90.63 mph to defeat Bruce McConnell’s turbo-215 V8 ’63 Olds Cutlass convertible. Factory Experimental (FX) wasn’t just for big V8s. This red relic is also 225-powered.

The show field included this wild 392 whale-powered ’64 Dodge Polara 500. Owned by Bill Rowe, again that BDS supercharger is no hollowed-out fake. When Ed Donovan’s aluminum 392 racing blocks appeared in 1973, the once obsolete Gen I Hemi was revived in Top Fuel. Drag racing reporters needed to differentiate it from the 426-style Gen II “elephant” Hemi and the “whale motor” designation was born.

Custom mounts position the wide Gen-I Hemi without fender-wall or shock-tower surgery. The hoses are part of the partially hidden air conditioning system. Yep, it has a Hemi …and A/C! The first Gen-II 426 Race Hemis appeared in 1964 Dodges and featured reverse-stamped shock mounts for added clearance.

At the absolute tip of the Hemi spear, modern Top Fuel power plants like the Hennen Motorsports “Road Rage Fuel Booster” machine make nearly twenty five times the original 425 horsepower rating. Had the Ramchargers not beaten Nicholson’s 409 in that fateful 1961 match race, this engine probably wouldn’t exist.

Shown in action at Detroit Dragway, here’s the 1961 Dart Seneca that rattled Nicholson’s 409 and spurred corporate drag race support. Though stripped for dragging, its C-Body was unitized only from the firewall back. It was replaced in 1962 by the 370 pound lighter, fully-unitized B-Body. The 413 Max Wedge—with its one-piece short ram intake manifold—arrived on May 1, 1962.

Hot Rod archives In its coverage of the inaugural 1961 NHRA Nationals at IRP, Hot Rod magazine mentioned that Dodge and its Indianapolis-area Dodge dealers sponsored Dodge Performance Day the day before racing kicked off. Here HRM reporter LeRoi “Tex” Smith (in white) poses with what is probably a Hyper-Pak equipped Lancer GT. The Dart Phoenix or Polara convertible in the background is likely packing a ram-inducted 383 or 413, respectable but of no comparison to the lighter Max Wedges of 1962.
