Vintage racecar driver Howard Katz has been named the third recipient of The Gorsline Cup, honored during the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Gorsline Cup is presented by Gorsline Company, the premier insurer of high-risk individuals, to the driver who best exhibits the qualities of sportsmanship on the track, integrity in car preparation and excellence in presentation in the paddock. The Cup was first presented by company principal John Gorsline in 2012, when George Robinson was selected, while last year’s trophy went to Toby Bean. Katz, of New York City, was chosen as this year’s recipient because, Gorsline said, “he exhibits the qualities of a fine gentleman, has high standards, integrity, honesty and demonstrates sportsmanship on the race track.”
Katz is a real estate developer who currently competes with a 1975 Toj BMW 2-liter sports racer, as well as owning a 1973 March 732-BMW Formula Two car. “It is an honor to be selected by John and the Gorsline Company for this award,” he said. “John has been associated with the finest and best individuals in racing for many years, and to be selected by him for this is truly amazing.”
