I think I know what trophy that is, but I'm not sure if it's what your talking about. Back before FLR, and most of the Rochester teams went to Buckeye, there was a trophy that was passed around to a different Rochester area team each year that did the best at Buckeye. The catch was, over the course of the year, the winning team would have to add something to the trophy before it could be presented to the next team the following year.

I know as of the end of 2004, we had the trophy because I remember adding one of the side plates of our Tri-wheels from Roxanne to the trophy. I remember Matt Starke and I planning to give it to a team at FLR to try and keep this tradition going. Unfortunately, I can't remember what team, if any, we eventually gave it too.

Anyway, that's what I thought of when I read your post Ellery, I'm not sure if that's the trophy your talking about but there's some history anyway

I'm sure Rees will chime in soon enough
