History

Information for the AWTAR/Powder Puff Derby is organized by the year of the race (1947 through 1977). Each web page in this section has a drop-down box where you can select the race year you want to view. For some years, such as 1948, the information is sparse, whereas other years, such as 1973, have lots of detail. Note that there was no race in 1974.

Pages that you can view in this History section include:

• Racer List
• Race Stops
• Race Routes
• Available Awards
• Rules and Regulations
• Fun Facts

The Race Results section gives access to displays, search tools, and reports that show how each racer and team placed each year, and which teams won which awards. These pages include:

• Top Winners List
• Reports Catalog
• Interactive Race Results
• Tutorial

The online race results tool is interactive. You can sort the data by any column, search by text string, or click on highlighted buttons to drill down for more detail. Clicking on the "More" button in the upper right-hand corner of the page reveals a set of reports that you can view or download. This includes the race program from that year as well as the route map. A tutorial has tips and tricks on how to get the most out of the interactive tool.

Have fun exploring these pages. Any questions or comments, please email the historian at history@airraceclassic.org.
