Billy J Gilbert Memorial Award

This is a very special award for me personally to be able to hand out each year in the memory of my father. Billy Gilbert was not only my father, but he was my best friend. We did what it seemed like everything together from showing cars to drag racing or just going out for a quick bite to eat. He was not only in my opinion, but several others a great man. He was always there for you when you needed him and was always willing to lend a hand or give advice whenever you needed it. He was defiantly a person that would go out of his way for you.

I currently now own what was his pride and joy and that is his 1967 Shelby GT500. Other than the memories this is all I have to remember him by, and this is the one thing that helps me cope with his death. When I drive and or show this car I feel like he is right there beside me again. And that like the car itself is priceless to me. In giving out this award each year I try to think someone that has gone over and above in helping not only me, but others as well. This person is someone that would remind me of my father in some way shape or form.
