A word from George:
I found this story from the News Journal of 50 years ago. Tom Rettew (the writer) was a club member and check out the other [current] club members that won their class. Thought since we will be awarding the Lofland Bowl this year, some history from 50 years ago might be fun to read.

Alderman triumphs

By TOM RETTEW

George Alderman, driving his 109-horsepower Formula Ford, posted the fastest time of the day in the Brandywine Motorsport Club sprints along the Christiana River in Wilmington.

He steered and slid around the one kilometer (0.62-mile) 11-turn course laid out in roadways inside fences at the All-American Engineering Co. building at the foot of Madison Street.

His best time was 0.952 minutes, an average speed of 39.07 miles an hour. That average isn’t impressive until the course is studied. Almost no straight section is longer than a few hundred feet and many of the turns are 180 degrees or tighter. The driver of the faster cars use only first and occasionally second gears.

Fastest time gave Alderman one-year possession of the huge silver-plated Revere Bowl, the Jack Lofland Memorial Trophy. Lofland, one of the pioneers in this fast-growing automotive competitive event, died of cancer at age 24 in 1965. His father donated the trophy.
