Well, not really, but a suitable replacement has been found to replace the original one that mysteriously grew legs and walked out the door at Buena Park some time ago! Team Checkpoint racer and 1960s Rod & Custom champ Terry Schmid found this wonderful, large silver plated cup at a garage sale and it is old but in perfect shape! We'll just get a base and plaques at a trophy shop and add all the names back to the very first Checkpoint Cup race in 2009...

The list of winners reads like a who's who of recent Retro racers and names from the past... Tore Anderson, Howie Ursaner, John Gorski, Bryan Warmack, Jay Kisling, Jonathon Forsyth, Doug Matthes, Duran Trujillo, Alex Freund and last but not least the most recent winner to add his name, Matt Bruce.

It will be at Buena Park for the 2015 Parma Checkpoint Cup... and perhaps chained to the floor! :laugh2:

Bryan, if I was you I'd take a look inside of it every couple of days to make sure no one is using it as a spittoon. :shok: :laugh2:

Very cool, Bryan!

I hope y'all keep the CP going a few more years so I can give it a shot once I retire(25 months).

Way to go Bryan and Terry. Awesome looking trophy for a great race. Looking at the names on that trophy you can see a "Who's Who" of some greats from the past and a lot of greats from the "Now". I do hope that you can webcast some of this years events for those of us that can't travel to see the race. If you could that would be fantastic.

And to the clown that took the original trophy, I hope he gets hives.

Fill it full of mint julep for the race and the overall winner has to drink it. :wacko2:
