Hello guys,

I am trying to get some history on who won these trophies. I picked them up a few years back but haven't done any digging yet.
Have any idea who won these??? (Except for the two with the driver's names already, of course.)
THANK YOU for ANY help you can give!!!!!

Best Regards,
Josh

Hello Tedd! Thank you for your post!

I have found basic info, but I am really new to 1950's SCCA. I know a good deal about Trans-Am racing, but I am totally lost with the earlier stuff. I also am hoping to get info on who owned these before me, which I have had a couple members on here send me their ideas. I am on the right track thanks to everyone here.


Thank you Tedd... And thanks to everyone who IM'ed me!

Best regards,
Josh
