Default Original 1960s Detroit Dragway Trophy

I don't typically come across this stuff, and to be honest I rarely see anything from Detroit Dragway, even in this area. This is a nice trophy, wood and diecast, that should clean up to a very nice condition. My primary concern with this trophy was the apparent oxidation on the 'Detroit Dragway Champion' plaque but in reality it still has the protective plastic peel-off surface on it! Unreal....

I'd like $150 plus shipping for this. Pics below:

----Motor City Dragway is directly behind a good friend of mines business on 26 mile road. You really have to dig thru the underbrush to find anything, but cool knowing it was there. As it happens he is heavily into high performance of all kinds, but leans towards the marine side with a 41 ft. Apache with 2 1150 hp. supercharged big blocks. Google Allez Vite 41 Apache and you will see what I mean......Bill S

Yes - wish we had more OPEN tracks around here! Evidently the former owner of Lapeer Dragway is playing the NIMBY card to limit its hours of operation...if that one goes away we’re stuck with Milan as the only Metro Detroit option....

What?

That doesn't sound like something Ed would do....

Got more details on this?

Cool place to check out, I did it a few years ago. You gotta see it while it’s still there. We stopped by one of my buddy’s friends, he has a few. I as in a barn, like rite down the road, maybe he’s on here.
