They have the Helenduro Challenge in common, because Inola Castings created the custom belt buckles that were awarded to the Helenduro finishers. The Helenduro, is a race that is modeled after European Helenduro races, and is made up of sections that are timed. During the time-allotment sections, riders must race between 2 designated locations, there is typically a climb involved. If you are one of the first 2 riders to come in during the time allotment you will receive time bonuses, while riders that take longer than the time-allotment will receive a time penalty. The total score is determined by calculating the times, the time penalties and the time bonuses. The high score wins. The riders must race on the same bike, for the whole series.
The finisher awards for the Helenduro challenge in Montana were custom buckles that were created by Inola Castings. Many organizations are using alternatives to old traditional awards; they want the award to be memorable, meaningful, and customized. Inola Castings has been providing superior design, with quality finished products and unmatched customer service for twenty years. It is that commitment to excellence that keeps Inola Castings as the leading manufacturer of custom made belt buckles and other castings. Inola lives by the guiding principle “treat your customer the way you wish to be treated!”
Inola Castings has played a crucial part of fund raising throughout history. In 1991, at the beginning of operation Desert Storm, Inola Castings earned national attention, because they made bracelets for family and friends of the Persian Gulf servicemen and women. $3,000 was raised quickly for the USO, from the sale of these special bracelets, while the fund raising efforts continued to grow.
A devastating tornado tore through a small town in Oklahoma, in 1993. $10,000 of aid was generated from the pin that Inola Castings designed. Years later, this idea escalated, when the 9/11 tragedy occurred in 2001, and money needed to be raised for victims. $400,000 was raised from the “United We Stand” pin that Inola Castings produced.
Inola Castings continually steps up to the plate in emergency situations, to aid their countrymen. Inola Castings began another crusade in 2003, to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. The “Support Our Troops” pin, a mini dog-tag, was created. The “Support Our Troops” pin has generated over $110,000 for the USO.
