Driver of the Year Award

The Driver of the Year Award was created in 2004. In order to be eligible for the Team Continental Driver of the Year award you must win a Conference/SCCA regional, divisional or national championship in that year and be a member of Team Continental. Selection procedure: The list of Conference/SCCA champions that raced under the Team Continental banner will be distributed with the board member election ballots. The membership will then select the Driver of the Year and the results will be announced at the annual banquet.

Victory Cup

The Victory Cup was first awarded in 1963, making it one of the older of the TC perpetual trophies. The Victory Cup is awarded to a member on the basis of the most accumulated points. Drivers should submit their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place results to the Trophy Committee Chair. Each 1st place is worth 5 points, each 2nd place 3 points, and each 3rd place 1 point. All race finishes during the year can be submitted. The points are totaled and the driver with the most points is awarded the Victory Cup.

George Brockbank Memorial Trophy

The George Brockbank Memorial trophy is awarded annually in memory of one of our members who died while racing. In 1975 George had a massive heart attack at the wheel of his Datsun Sedan during a race at Seattle International Raceway. George was a late comer to the sport and it was the fulfillment of a life long dream to have attained his senior license. He built his own car and drove well throughout his Novice program. He was always upbeat and had a broad grin for everyone at the track. George was not a man of great wealth and was blind in one eye, yet he persevered and raised his family, founded his own business and by any measure succeeded in life. His accomplishment and the spirit in which this award is given is to honor the tenacity it took to overcome adversity and become a race driver. He was always so grateful to those that helped him succeed in his goal. The enthusiasm and spirit he brought to the track is still missed today by those that knew him. A great man and a loyal member of Team Continental.

This is awarded to the member beginning the season as a novice who improves the most. They should obtain their senior license by end of current season to qualify for this award.
