The Collins Trophy is in remembrance of Bob Collins of the Detroit Region who was fatally injured racing his MG-TC in Canada in 1950. Bob was a founding member of the Detroit Region and was a starter for the first POR (Press On Regardless) in 1948. The Detroit Region had the unique trophy made from a design by George Gaston, former RE. It is a perpetual trophy awarded to the outstanding racing competitor for the past season. For many years the award was given to the driver of a car under 1600 cc’s, but more recently the award has been made to the competitor with the most National racing points in P-1, P-2, STU, STL, GTL, SM, EP, FP, HP, GT3, BSpec, SRF, and SFR3.
