The Region also recognizes drivers for their achievements based on the spirit of competition and the overall sportsmanship. This year we named the driver of the year award the Lynne Huntting Driver of the Year because she always paid close attention to every driver competing in our events. She appreciates quality efforts and writes about those efforts of the Region’s drivers in The Wheel. This year the Lynne Huntting Driver of the Year Award went to Bob Bradfield. Prior to receiving this award Bob Bradfield died in a tragic bicycle accident in Santa Cruz. Bob will always be remembered for his big red cheeks, his big smile, and his humble demeanor. But above all Bob will be remembered as one hell of a racecar driver!
