South Bend Region Traveling Trophies
At the annual awards banquet a series of trophies are handed out. While not all are awarded every year, they are all great honors. Below is a brief history of each of the awards.
B. J. Swanson
Was a fast-rising and very talented young SBR race driver just moving into the Pro ranks when his life was cut short at Mid-Ohio doing what he loved most: road racing.
Jack Boone
Helped create the South Bend Region Tech Team in the late 1950s to provide the Chicago Region with tech inspection at the June Sprints and pro races at Road America for many years.
Harold Miller Sr.
Was an amateur H Modified race driver and the trophy is named for his son, who was a true enthusiast who died much too young.
The Red Bud
Trophy is one of our oldest and is awarded to the highest scoring member at the year's regional competitive events. Originally, it included both rallies and gymkhanas, but eventually came to include just SBR solo events.
The Eleanore "Elly" Thomas
Was the female counterpart to the Red Bud, and awarded to the highest placed female in rallies and gymkhanas, now limited to regional solo competition.
The Jeanne Ruble
Is in honor of one of the hardest working SBR members of all time. Jeanne held many SBR offices including R.E. and was a mainstay at every solo, creating systems for scoring used by many other clubs in the days of pencil and paper.
Betty "Cookie" Walker
Was a very early member and could be counted on to do just about anything to help at events, meetings, and social events.
The Busted Piston
While the original trophy was lost many years ago, it's been awarded at the end of every monthly SBR event (rally or gymkhana) to the member with the poorest score, but who did compete and finish. Now it is an annual trophy normally awarded to a member who had major problems while competing during the year.
Curtis Thews Award
Was established in 2014 and is given to a SBR member who has made contributions to the club above and beyond all expectations. Curtis was a founding member of SBR and devoted countless hours to the club.
