Karl Pel Perpetual Award The Detroit Region established this trophy to honor one of its most dedicated members, Karl Pel, who passed away on November 8, 1974. Karl will be remembered best for the time and energy he devoted to the Club. He was not just in attendance at most of the races, rallies, and meetings, but he was there helping, whenever needed. He seemed to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time - hot coffee for the cold registrars, food for the hungry tech inspectors and his car was a ready source of most anything a worker could possibly need. However, Karl had a way of doing all these things for people without being obvious about it. He shied away from the limelight and stayed in the background whenever he could. This trophy is presented each year to the worker who has devoted an exceptional amount of time and effort toward promoting our sport and the Detroit Region.
