Daphne raced the PHA circuit with her husband George in the early to mid 70's. She drove a Fiat in G Production and later a Porsche 914 in Show Room Stock.

Daphne was a charter member of the PA region of the PCA.

One of the nicest ladies you could meet...

They do it for NASCAR...why not PHA?

Fantasy Hill Climb circuit.... Ok...this is how it works: Using the 2004 final points, each racer/car (those that competed in 2004) will have a price.

I guess it would be more accurate to say the Centenial Celebration of Giants' Despair, since there were many many breaks in the action due to lack of interest, mine fires and floods... Also, I find Mr. Lee's name spelled several ways...Deleven & Delavan?? Is the Allard still in original paint?? ...

Delevan (Del) Lee would come in from Grosse Point Michigan to compete at Giants' Despair....I have a couple of pictures of the car on the hill...I can scan for you.

It would be awesome if you could bring the car to Giants' in 2006 to celebrate the 100th running of the event!!
