Names are listed on the commemorative plaque as they appeared in the June 1984 Data Run Trials Results report – and the official 1984 Trials Day of Race program. We made every reasonable attempt to ensure accuracy. Some information, such as the state designations, became impossible to verify. The best available sources were utilized.
