TDM,
Congratulation on winning the Advance Trophy, great job. There is a funny story that goes with that trophy. At that point in time, there was not a Perpetual Trophy for winning Advance at the Nat’s. When John Davis approached me after he won Advance and said we should put up the funds for a Trophy and donate this to AMA to be award it to the Nat’s Advance winner every year. I ordered the Trophy and spent many long evenings talking to John about it, so we decided to include all the previous winner on the Trophy (and have their names listed). John and myself were homered to do so, just a little way to pay it forward for such a fine event.
