There is just too much expertise and work required to build a Ridler Award winner.
Like the many teams before them, this team worked extremely hard and were dedicated enough to sleep in 3-hour shifts at the end.
Congratulations are in order, but their memories are set for this night.
And that $10,000 check barely covers the cost, I'll bet.
Not many realize there are two awards handed out at the time of the Ridler announcement. This one shows a different style specific for the builder, but one that he will cherish for the rest of his life.
The Ridler Award in the hands of the owner and the builder. Sometimes they are the same person, but seldom.
The video shows Bruce Ricks telling the crowd how hard the team worked; sometimes sleeping in 3-hour shifts during the final weeks.
