The Mohawk Valley Vintage Dirt Modified Series (MVVDMS) celebrated their annual awards banquet at the Winner's Circle Restaurant in Fonda, recognizing outstanding achievements from the past season. Promoter Laurie Fallis acknowledged her core team of JoAnne Flansburg, Georgie Constantino, and Wade Seaburg for their dedicated support.

Division champions received illuminated trophies and championship jackets:

• Modifieds: Jack Miller
• Sportsman: Jon Trudeau
• Antiques: Jimmy Fugel
• Late Models: Curtis Condon
• Mistique: Joe Rando

A notable moment of sportsmanship occurred when Modified champion Jack Miller gifted his Dave Lape Memorial trophy to Anthony Cardamone, who initially won the race but was disqualified due to weight requirements. Cardamone, who considers Dave Lape his idol and mentor, had been devastated by the disqualification.

NYSSCA Outstanding Dedication awards were presented to:

• Dan Haslun
• John Roese
• Carl Kram
• Speedy Niedhammer
• Randy Delaney

Twelve drivers received Iron Man awards for competing in all seven points shows across New York and Vermont. Additionally, Jimmy Fugel, Don Briggs, Merv Blackwell, and Joe Rando were recognized for perfect attendance in the 2024 season.

Looking ahead to 2025:

• Stone Motorsports is offering a free 'Manimal' Pro Stock chassis (valued at $11,500) through a drawing for top competitors at Fonda and Utica-Rome
• Utica-Rome will host a New Year's Day Enduro with a $500 prize for the winner
