The Firth Motors Family Trophy
The Firth Motors Family Trophy has been part of Historic Winton since 1993, awarded each year to a family that has made a significant contribution to Historic Winton and motorsport in general.
Harry Firth passed away 26th April 2014. He was well known for his success on the Australian Touring Car scene and the brains behind The Holden Dealers Team, but his early exploits at grass-roots level of motorsport endeared him to the many followers of Historic Winton and club motoring.
Harry competed at the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th Historic Winton in his very quick MG TC Special, which he had tuned to the maximum. He often competed against the late Lou Molina in his similar MG TC Special and the pair provided many exciting performances during the formative years of Historic Winton.
