A group of Stark County, Ohio racers, fans, photographers, etc. have put together a memorial award in Stan Bowman's name to be awarded at the Marion County Nostalgia Funny Car Nationals. The award amount is $316, to honor Stan's competition number. We will choose the team that most represents Stan's racing career to give the award to. We will be giving the team cash, no check, no trophy. If the winning team chooses to pull out of the track and pay cash at the gas station, they will be able to do that.
If there is anyone from here who would like to participate in funding this award (you don't have to be from Stark County), let me know. We have many $10, $20, $25 contributors with a few of us ready to contribute whatever it takes to get to the $316 goal on August 5th. If we would happen to go over the $316, the winner will receive whatever we raise. Anyone who is at the track that has contributed will have a say in who gets the award.
