The annual post-season Super Sedan Association (Inc) Awards Dinner was held on Saturday night July 26 at the Brisbane Holiday Inn Function Centre, with a feast of presentations made to drivers and members alike following another successful season of racing at Qld and Northern NSW venues.

 Invited by the Association as a special guest MC for the evening, three-time Australian Champion Ron Pyne from NSW proved to be a popular choice for the role, keeping the one hundred and fifty plus patrons on hand entertained with a myriad of racing and traveling stories from days past. Pyne clearly enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with his racing mates from north of the border, moving amongst the guests throughout the evening to chat one-on-one and re-live some old tales while also doing an admirable job up on the dais for the presentations.

 The first of the awards presented was to AS Concrete Pumping Service Development Series driver Dempsie Pails who collected Rookie Of The Year honours following his very credible third place finish in the season points tally. Steve Pearce was awarded the trophy for Best Presented Car, thanking his team at Amazing Signs for the work they put in to keep the car looking the part at each and every event and Gavin Northfield picked up the Hard Charger award for the season.

 Dempsie Pails returned to the dais to collect his trophy for third place in the Development Series, followed by Trevor Brehmer (2nd) and Series Champion Alex Jenner. All three drivers thanked their sponsors, crew and families for their on-going support and indicated they will be back next season to do it all again. 

 Craig McGeorge, in his first season back behind the wheel of the family owned Pontiac Grand Prix/Rocket #3 after an extended layoff, finished third in the Ian Boettcher Volkswagen Series and accepted his award from Ron Pyne on behalf of the McGeorge family. With a new Rocket chassis on order and a fresh engine being pieced together over the off-season, McGeorge will continue his chase for Championship honours when the 2008/09 season kicks off in October.

 Ian Brims collected his trophy for second place in the Series, giving thanks to his sponsors and family for their support and gave a special mention to John Leslight for his very valuable contribution to his race team this past season. After a slow start to the Championship, Ian Brims stormed back into contention for Series honours in the second half of the season with three Round wins and six top five finishes in the final nine Rounds of the Series, including back-to-back wins at Lismore Speedway.

 The major awards for the Ian Boettcher Volkswagen Championship Series went to Wayne Brims, who won three of the opening four Rounds to establish himself as the front runner before going on to win the Championship by a comfortable three hundred and sixty-nine (369) point margin when the chequers fell at the end of the eighteenth and final Round. It was a career year for Brims who also placed second in the National Super Sedan Series this season, with the remarkable statistic of twenty-eight starts for twenty-seven finishes carrying him to his success. Brims will return in 2008/09 with a new Danny Smith Rocket chassis in his bid for successive Championships.

 Other awards presented during the evening went to Gavin Northfield (Driver's Driver), Barry Craft (Geoff McHugh Award) and Darren Kane was presented with the Perpetual Trophy for his victory in the 2008 Qld Title in the Ian Boettcher Dominator Race car. It was the strongest year yet for the Dominator Race cars, taking the Queensland and Australian Titles. Special mentions and appreciation plaques were presented to John McGeorge and Ian Boettcher for their valuable support to the Association in recent years, in particular for their efforts in supporting both the Championship and Development Series since their inception.

 A number of items were auctioned off to raise money for the Association during the course of the evening, with many items reaching their reserve price fairly quickly and the guests at table 16 coming in for some special treatment and bid raising at the hands of acting-auctioneer Ron Pyne. Annette Knight and Karen Geary were also thanked by the guests with a round of applause for their roles in organising this year's Awards Dinner.

 The evening concluded with the announcement of naming rights sponsors for next year's Series, with Bergmeier Engineering (Championship Series) and Red Devil Radiators (Development Series) being selected from close to one hundred entries for the honour. Both Series will commence on October 18 in Rockhampton, with ten dates confirmed for the Championship Series and five Rounds for the Development Series locked in for the 2008/09 season.
