I have a trophy from my late father that reads "4 th place Bardahl trophy race reno 1967" does anyone know anything about this? Is it airplane or hydroplane boat related?

Do you have a photo? My guess is that it's probably from the air races? I dont think there were any hydro races in Reno?

1967 - Sept 21-24, National Championship Air Races, Reno
Unlimited = 1. Darryl Greenamyer, F8F-2 Smirnoff (v: 392.621). 2. Ed Weiner, P-51D Hi Time II (v: 373.712). 3. Clay Lacy, P-51D Cal Airmotive (v: 363.207). 4. Charles Hall, P-51D Miss Martha II (v: 363.071). 5. Mike Loening, P-51D Traveler (v: 359.866).
