First class race/trophy (5 inches tall) was at Pensacola, FL Feb 1 1959. As I recall, I had to race my 55 Chevy in Gas class because I had put a Corvette floor shifter in it. I still have the trophy. It and the class Wallys (and the 72-74 Wally predecessors) are the only ones I kept when we moved to SC.

OK Guys, i am going to give you something to laugh about. I won my first Troph at a lil Track here in Macon back in 1957, it was called Camp Wheeler, with the flagging man, And i won it driving a 1957 Ford with the Paxton SuperCharger, and set the track record 109 mph,yep that makes me older than whatever Alan called me! And no, it was not my car, it belong to a car salesman friend of mine!

It's unclear whether the thread asked for current class racers only but, overall, Beswick wins this one, hands down.
