I met Mr. Seymore and Keith at Lapeer Dragway in the mid 70's. I had an aunt and uncle that raced. My dad was a street racer that worked for Pontiac for 42 years. Van Seymore was as good and gracious a man that could be found. It is only appropriate that award is named for him. It still seems strange seeing Keith at the track without his "side kick". My uncle passed in 1999. They are undoubtedly up there bench racing. Great story Keith. Mike McCarty
