victoria auto racing hall of fame 2008


Couldn't make the festivities. Haven't seen the Times-Colonist for any coverage they might have given it and missed all the potential t.v. sports shows from the Island that might have mentioned it.

But there still is the internet. The hall's website has the three new entries' pages up already. They are:

Their website is a great place to go to learn about some racing history.

The photo I believe is of Dave Cooper, one of the first to be inducted into the hall. It was taken at Silver Lake Speedway in Everett, WA, 1951. If I have the correct info Dave finished 7th in the main.

Art Scovell won the race.

The photo comes from the Scovell collection that was being maintained by Jack Snyder. Don Radbruch made copies for me. Thanks to all.
