Nice to see Rick Egersdorf inducted into the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame.
Classes are starting to get pretty weak
I've thought that for years. Not being in the hall of fame doesn't mean someone didn't have a great career. Most of these racers had really good, even great regional careers. They belong in a regional hall of fame.Quote:

If you're referring to my post I suppose it's worth saying that Boggs wasn't top of mind for me.Quote:

I get it, everyone looks at it like the NFL hall of fame, because it should be the best of the best. But man idk every one of those guys dedicated their lives to this sport. I knew Jackie and was a longtime fan, so obviously that didn’t sit well with me, but I understand what you’re sayingQuote:

Wasnt there supposed to be a building upgrade? I thought when Gerald Newton took over that he had a plan to make the HOF bigger?
I finally saw it at the north south this year and I agree it definitely needs a much bigger building it appears they’re pretty much running out of room but it’s still cool to see
