Jimmy Welsh Trophy

In 2012 we lost one of our most beloved racing family member, Jimmy Welsh. Jimmy was dedicated to the sport, his team and his friends. OPA would like to honor a team member that displayed similar qualities to Jimmy throughout the past season.

As the team owner, if you would like to see this honor bestowed upon one of your team members, it’s up to you to tell us who and why. Please take a few minutes and write a short story about your most dedicated team member and what they did during this past year to deserve this award. Make it good and maybe they’ll win. Ballots will be handed out at the the Annual Meeting and the winner announced at the Awards Ceremony.

Please submit only one member of your team ... someone that your team just couldn’t live without. You may also submit a crew member from another team that helped you throughout the year. Submit your story to [email protected] by February 1st. Be sure to include – your name – team name and hull racing number – Full name (and nickname) of candidate and the position they hold on your team.
