I have a Original Trophy  from that same Contest, It says First Place Control Line B Speed. We plan to reuse it for a perpetual trophy at the Huntersville Contest . Guess it is one of the many that are in the big Banquet picture .

Looks like it was a really big deal in it's time

I had two Plymouth's. A 1968 Roadrunner coup,383 and a 1968 Roadrunner hardtop,Hemi. Both four speeds.
 I had several friends who went to the Plymouth Nats but" I was to young to go anywhere with those guys" my mother said. Z@@ZZZ
 In 1954 I went to the Mirror Meet with those same guys.

Plymouth and Desoto were both Chrysler products.  Oldsmobile was General Motors.
