1980 | Edward Nabb
Nabb participated in practically every aspect of APBA racing since 1936. Starting as a riding mechanic, Ed rose through the ranks as an owner-driver, National High Point winner, and member of the Gulf Marine Racing Hall of Fame.
Ed's activities, aside from refereeing for 27 years, were mostly behind the scenes, where his legal background and organizational skills helped bring Offshore and Drag racing into the APBA fold.
Nabb chaired many important committees, including Insurance, Trophy and International Affairs. As a UIM Vice President for 18 years Ed, along with the other APBA officers, helped greatly in having APBA truly recognized by the international governing body. In 1970 he became the first American to head a full UIM Commission - the Offshore Commission.
