You forgot the seeding number for BackDraft BGT, just a heads up, not really paramount.
This is actually a really hard one for me, too.

I voted backdraft after a short bit of being stuck...iunno, i like apollo and all, but backdraft has something intangible that draws me to it.

^ Same with me. AC was amazing, but it just wasn't epic enough to beat Backdraft. BD was also a huge inspiration for me in building KNex. Also, AC's layout could have more turns, while Backdraft was/still is sompletely unique and amazing.

Voted AC. Just perfectly made and proportioned. It seemed a lot cleaner in the build owing mostly to tube supports, but was just as strong. Backdraft had a great layout, elements built perfectly and superb attention to detail, but my reasons for not choosing it can't clearly be explained in words. That's how close the decision was.

IMO, MCM, built a accurate recreation of Apollos Chariot. Apollos, Freaking, Chariot. With tube supports. Im really sorry CAC, but I just dont see why Backdraft is soo incredible. Sure, its amazing and one of the best, but I mean c'mon guys, APOLLOS CHARIOT?!

I voted for Backdraft. It just sticks out more to me with that old school style I like.

^Thanks for being supportive man. You made a great coaster, and it definantly deserved to win this. It was a great model, perfect proportions, great shaping and smoothness, AND with tubes! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
And thanks to all who supported me, I appreciate the votes.
