This is now being announced across Canada, Norm Ellefson is one of seven inductees into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame.
Go to Norris MacDonald's blog for more information.
Norm was CAMRA champ for 1966, 1967 and 1969. He also drove to victory at the Minnesota State Fair in 1969.
He won numerous big races over the years including the Gold Cup and Matan Memorial at Edmonton, the Copper Cup in Salt Lake City, the Billy Foster Memorial in Victoria.
The clipping is from PGARA Speedway in Prince George.
Norm got his start in racing at Springbank Speedway in Calgary in the early 1950s and was still driving a car in the late 1990s at Spokane Raceway Park.
He drove the old stock cars, super modifieds, super stocks, and NASCAR Grand Nationals all to great success.
He is a deserving entry to the CMHF. And this is a good way to close out the year.
Happy New Year to Norm and everyone out there.
