1988 | Jeff Titus

A racing member since 1955, Jeff competed in Stock and PRO through 1987, and won 17 national championships, eight world records, and seven 5-mile marathon and kilo events. He is a member of the Gulf Hall of Fame and the APBA Hall of Champions.

He served as Region 5 officer, category vice president, on the Board of Directors, as OPC Commissioner, on the OPC Motor Technical Commission, as president of Ft. Lauderdale Professional Powerboat Racing Association, and as inspector, referee and race chairman for years.

In 1970, he won closed course nationals in the SI, SJ and U classes, and won both Sport I and Sport E Nationals four consecutive years, 1975-78 - probably the only APBA driver ever to win national championships in two major classes four years in a row, as well as three national titles in one year.

Region 5 gave him the Bud Wade Memorial Award in March 1988 for outstanding sportsmanship.
