Wow, I am shocked and truly honored that the Beast won in this category this year. I didn’t think the Beast had a snowball’s chance in Hell to win. 2012 was definitely a year of awesome and amazing builds, all of the nominees did a spectacular job on their projects. I find it a privilege for the Beast to even be included in this group of fantastic machines. This community brings out the best ideas and innovation in the hobby, and each year the projects get more refined. When I started out planning the Beast, I looked to this forum for ideas, inspirations, and even reality checks; without it, the Beast wouldn’t be what it is today. Thanks BYOAC, I’m looking forward to what 2013 brings!
