2009 IOF Contest Winners
The 2008-2009 Mastercam Innovator of the Future challenge was to create a one-of-a-kind gas cap using Mastercam. The celebrity judge was Jim Quinn, with the help of Jason Pohl, of Orange County Choppers. It is clear that the entrants rose to the challenge, displaying exceptional aesthetic and mechanical creativity. With many excellent entries, competition was fierce. After careful consideration, Jim has made his selections: |
First Place
Winner: Justin Amos
Vincennes University, Vincennes, Indiana
This cap featured an F-16 soaring over a compass design with a spinning brass arrow. As a pilot, Justin has always enjoyed the jet bikes made by the OCC team.
1st Runner-Up: Brian Flenar
Vincennes University, Vincennes, Indiana
Inspired by a class trip to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall of Fame, Brian decided to create a vintage style cap featuring both brass and aluminum.

2nd Runner-Up: Gregg Nemec
Dunwoody College of Technology, Minneapolis, Minnesota
Gregg’s clean, practical design features an old school OCC style dagger. Gregg designed his cap so the inset design can be easily rotated, so the rider can orient it with a flick of the wrist.
