I would imagine they have more planned as an annual deal.

I would hope to see more locals like Buck Kinney, Jack Williams and Jack Mazzomo and others.
Nice to have it, something that should have been done years ago.

I would say they must consider maybe changing the induction gala to a different time. That is a pretty big weekend for the sport and the people that love the sport, and always a ton of Canadians at the Dutch. Just saying...
And congratulations to all the inductees. Great bunch of guys getting recognized for doing something they love....cars!!

If we get to nominate people how about Graeme Yanocko.
He did race too but his fame is more from getting the drag races at Edenvale going.

I met him before he died at his cabin in Wasaga Beach. He had a "lifetime achievement" award for the sport of drag racing given to him in the 50's!

Ron Farmer would be another.

Track operators should be a big part of the recognition.
