As far as the drivers go,I have no issue,but as far as the "CONTRIBUTORS," (EXCEPT FOR ONE)you people must be joking.
-
Which 2 do you not agree with?
-
Petroff,is the only one that's derserving for this award.
-
Hmmm. Really now?
Please explain. Would like to hear why you have that opinion.
-
Also Forrest Lucas will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NDLMHoF
-
Didn't see Tiny Lund or Fulmer Lance race dirt, but i can attest that Hearst, Plank, Izzo Sr are deserving additions to the Hall.
Nice to see the hall acknowledge the accomplishments of so many great Illinois and Iowa drivers.

No explanation needed,there are many,many more contributors to the sport that are more deserving,then the two that I disagree with.

Actually please do explain. You say there are many more. Certainly you can give us just a couple.
Everybody gets recognition in due time.

So a crew chief who has been with the same driver for 33 years and in that time won 6 World 100s, 6 UMP Summer Nationals Titles, 2 World of Outlaw Championships, A HAT Championship, 2 Dreams, 2 DTWCs and every other major event isn't deserved of being in the Hall of Fame?
Or a guy who has been a car owner and engine builder for OVER 50 years with some of the best drivers on the East coast and who has wins in STARS, HAT, WoO, Lucas, UMP, SAS, MLRA, ULTIMATE, Carolina Clash, MACs, Southern Nationals and AMS among others. He also now has a World 100 and a Dream trophy along with a Lucas Championship?
Brian I know you like being all anti-establishment and "the rebel badass" but you cannot back up what you are saying here with facts. The above are facts and I don't know many other contributors on the ballot with more of a resume than either of those 2. And if so PLEASE give us that name and resume.

This is very nice to see Leon Plank get in. He was a very good racer from my area. Now they need to get in Rick Egersdorf from my area next.

By my 4m name of course I am partial. Just let me say even with the success Lee Roy Rumley accomplished in 2015, he deserved to be inducted into the hall of fame before this year. I requested his induction for many years which fell on deaf ears. I applaud the committee for their selections for 2016.

If your in the Charleston SC area, Old Santee Canal Park in Moncks Corner has a ton of Tiny Lund memorabilia in the museum. Lund's shop was in Cross, SC just outside of Moncks Corner. Summerville Speedway used to hold the Tiny Lund Memorial, a mid week race in August. Lund beat Buck Baker in a 250 lapper at Summerville. The Tiny Lund Memorial always had the top drivers, Fulmer Lance raced at Summerville.

Is bloomer already inducted in this hof?
