BACK SIDE PHOTO OF PAPER WEIGHT TROPHY

DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WERE MADE OR HOW MUCH THEY'RE WORTH NOW?

I KNOW MY "ORIGINAL ASPHALT FROM RICHMOND FAIRGROUNDS RACEWAY 1968 - 1988 PAPER WEIGHT TROPHY" IS PRICELESS TO ME!!

Thanks for any information or photos posted.

I can't tell you anything about the bend in the 1991 Winston Twin 200 Modified fastest Qualifier nameplate. That trophy would have gone to fastest qualifier Jamie "Tomato Head"

DAVE,
DO YOU KNOW IF THE 1991 Winston Twin 200 Modified fastest Qualifier TIME TRIALS WAS RAIN OUT OR NOT?

I DID NOTICED THAT "MONTH , DAY" DATE WAS MISSING ON WINSTON TWIN 200 RICHMOND INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY FASTEST MODIFIED QUALIFIER 1991 TROPHY NAME PLATE.

#1. MAYBE SOMEONE FORGOT TO ENGRAVED THE "MONTH , DAY" DATE ON THE TROPHY NAME PLATE? THEN THEY BEND IT IN HALF AND THROW IT AWAY.

#2. MAYBE SOMEONE JUST GOT AN NEW ENGRAVING MACHINE AND PRACTICED ON IT? THEN THEY BEND IT IN HALF AND THROW IT AWAY.

#3. WHAT HAPPENS DURING 90'S IF THE "FASTEST MODIFIED QUALIFIER" TIME TRIALS WAS RAIN OUT?

#4. DURING 90'S, HOW WAS THE RAIN OUT "FASTEST MODIFIED QUALIFIER" POLE WINNER DETERMINED?

#5. DURING 90'S, WOULD THE RAIN OUT POLE WINNING "FASTEST MODIFIED QUALIFIER" TROPHY BE GIVEN OUT AND PHOTOS TAKEN?

Thanks for any information or photos posted.
