This trophy piece in 1/10th scale, complete with driver, and a personally hand signed plaque, by the 1961 Formula One World Drivers' Champion Phil Hill, is presented each year, to the winner of this very prestigious award, by the "Road Racing Drivers Club"

Bobby Rahal, president of the Road Racing Drivers Club, presented the first Dino 156 sculpture at the club's award dinner in Daytona, just before the 24 hour race.   

We're very proud of the fact that the club chose our art piece to present to their 2006 award winner.   The club also decided to continue presenting this same trophy for the next ten years until 2015.   With this in mind, we decided to retire this "#2 Sharknose model" giving the club an exclusive on this trophy.       Bobby Rahal was the winner of the 2019 award, presented in Daytona this year.    A call to me from Mr. Rahal to commission an additional 15 signed sculptures, has now extend the presentations of our "Phil Hill Sharknose", each year until 2030.

Many thanks to all the many clients and dealers who supported us in the past, on this Dino 156 venture, and in particular to my friend   Mr. Donn Gurney - President of   Race Legends Incorporated  for bringing this all together for us.

Al Brinkworth     President & CEO
