Those who were picked for the Pirelli Great 8 had a video presentation of their cars and each were presented with $1,000, a special commemorative jacket, and a trophy.

There was the introduction & Tribute to Bobby Alloway 2011 “Builder of the Year” among other presentations.

This Brunch was a great opportunity to meet some of the legends in our sport.
