Default Re: Don Yenko Championship Trophy

Ed Lowther was quite an accomplished SCCA A-Production (Ap) 427 Cobra racer from 1966-67. Driving (and at the time owning) Competition Cobra #CSX3009 in both those seasons he was SCCA Ap NE Division champ, which allowed him to enter the yearend American Road Race of Champions (ARRC) national championship race finales both years. In 1966 at the ARRC at Riverside he actually took 1st, making him the 1966 US Champion. In 1967 at the ARRC at Daytona he had pole position and came very close to a repeat performance, but came in 3rd just behind Dick Smith's 427 Cobra and Tony DeLorenzo's L88 Corvette. If you ended up with any of Lowther's trophies from this era I believe the current owner of 427 Cobra CSX3009 would be interested in hearing from you.
