Hall of Fame inductees
to be named at reunion

Peninsula Old Time Racers will
join others in the auto racing
fraternity at the new auto racing
Hall of Fame at Western Speedway
Saturday.

The special reunion for all past
and present members of the auto
racing fraternity, families, friends
and fans will feature the 1991
induction of two racing personalit-
ies into the Hall of Fame, commit-
tee chairman Ross Rockett said.

In addition to the ceremonies,
there will be a variety of displays
from past and present as well as
much good fellowship and fun.

The names of the two inductees
will not be announced prior to the
3 p.m. presentation ceremony, but
they will join previous inductees
such as Billy Foster, the first
Canadian ever to race in the Indi-
anapolis 500; Bruce Passmore of
Langford Specdway fame; Andy
Cottyn, the man who built Westem
\pcedway; Jim Haslam, Bob Van-
treight, Reg Midgley, Bing Foster,
Geoff Vantreight, Frank Kitto, Phil
Hendry, Dick Midgley and Ron
Mayell — who were all deeply
associated as cither owners, build-
ers, promoters, sponsors or offi-
cials.

Also in the Hall of Fame are
renowned drivers Dick Wil-
loughby, Dave Cooper, Al Smith,
Dick Varley, Gary: Kershaw, Digger

O’Dell, Nibbs Anderson and Ross
Surgenor.

“The inductees for 1991 will
join a very impressive list of past
racing personalities,’ Rockett
said.

The reunion will also be a
chance for past and present racers,
their families, friends and fans to
get together again and renew old

acquaintances and do some bench
racing (commonly called lie
swapping).

A special added attraction to
this years function is the highlight-
ing of the year 1961. We urge
anyone who was associated with
the sport during this year 1o attend.

A giant Racers Swap Meet is
being held in conjunction with the
reunion to begin at 10 a.m. and
continue throughout the aftemoon.
The Hall of Fame Reunion is from
1 to 5 p.m.

Further information can be
obtained by calling either Ross
Rockett at 652-1303 or Norm
Wilcox at 474-4150.
