[JIM MARSHALL]

I made my debut in Stock Eliminator 46 years ago at the 1976 Gatornationals and met and got beat for class by Don Wolff in M/S. We both had 1968 Chevelle wagons 327 rated at 250hp. When I returned to Rochester NY after the Gators I intalled an atuomatic transmission and never raced a stick since lol . Congrats on your induction well deservered! Congrats to Steve and Travis as well.

Three VERY deserving individuals.




Speaking of deserving individuals, do you think that we'll ever get Jimmy Bridges into the Division 2 hall of fame?

With Jimmy’s credentials he is very deserving. We need someone from D2 to nominate him …..

As far as D3 goes, I hope I see the day where Mike Walter is inducted into the Hall of Fame. There was a period of time where Mike flat out DOMINATED stock eliminator at both the divisional level and the national event scene. If my memory is correct , one year Mike and his spouse’s car both finished in the TOP TEN. I am pretty sure this tremendous feat was only accomplished one other time, the Kennewick, Washington duo of Cal and MaryAnn Method. That’s some pretty darn good company.

EXACTLY!!


There's a reason I call him my "Racing Daddy". And I'll grab a wrench and jump in every single time he needs some help. I have a lot of friends, beloved friends, too many to list. But Jimmy Bridges has taught me more, and helped me more than anyone.

He spent much of his time in Div 1 but a hard worker for sure, he had little time to chat as he was always under the car.
