George Gunther Memorial

The Outstanding Regional Competition Driver Trophy was originally created in 1975.

In 1994 it became the George Gunther Memorial Trophy. George had been a member of SCCA since April 1956.

This trophy is awarded annually to the outstanding regionally licensed competition driver.

This trophy, and the National Competition Driver trophy, are awarded annually based on the votes of a selection committee.

The selection committee consists of the last three winners* of the national trophy, last three winners* of the George Gunther Memorial Trophy, and a race worker appointed by the Regional Executive.
