I think the idea of a perpetual trophy is good. However, I am not so sure about restricting recipients to Small Bore drivers if that is the proposed direction. The pool of eligible recipients could be pretty small and the value of selection less significant. I think it would be a good idea to enlarge the pool to include pretty much anyone present at the race who stands out as a 'Spirit of the Sport'. This would include workers, crew, drivers in other classes, etc. After all, Chris worked many SCCA specialties, from Flag to Pit, ofter crewed for me and others, instructed at countless drivers schools, both SCCA and car clubs, and drove cars outside the Small Bore group, most recently IT cars in enduros. Right now there are only 9 Small Bore cars registered for the Summit Point National, although this will improve some in the 2+ weeks still to go. But if the present total count of 79 (including 2 Regional groups) doesn't improve dramatically, there may not be future Nationals at Summit Point. In which case I would propose the transfer of the trophy to the Prodfest at VIR.
