Birky In the HOF?

[TerryM]

Anybody who ever seen a race car for sale on Craigslist is eligible for induction

lol ... Have to admit this got a chuckle out of me. The DLM HOF was a great idea, and long overdue, but they couldn't contain themselves and inducted too many, too fast, and now pretty much everybody is in. They should have realized the problem after the first four or five classes, but I guess not.

Definitely should be added. Was a great talent, and has the accomplishments which in my mind, were even more impressive given the limited time we had him.

Now on to other business.. the HoF induction committee should probably run it past his wife first, in case she makes him turn it down. I get the whole family aspect, and its their business... but he sure didn't seem to want to walk away, and she knew what she was getting into before they got married. Women that bait and switch like that, really burn me. That was his passion and its her obligation to support him, even if that meant compromising and running a more limited schedule. How she acted on social media during his come back races a while ago, were embarrassing. I hope he is 100% behind the situation she put him in, if not... its a shame.

I'm assuming yer single

Birky will get in soon, I believe. He very easily could have this year but the "geniuses" at the NDLMHOF went with fellow Iowan Don Hoffman. I was a huge Hoffman fan back in the day but I don't think he deserves to be in the Hall - he won some big races but nothing compared to Birky.

Haven't read through any of this thread yet and don't know if Birky has met the criteria that constitutes being a hof'er... Has he? If was up to me the man should be in the hof, but its not my call. Hope he does make it in. If not, hope he comes back and gets it done.

Hitting on the members again? 😂

[Mud Packer]

Birky deserves to be a HoF member.

I hate that your ball and chain is holding you back from your dreams.

[Mindwalker]

Birky deserves to be a HoF member.

I agree but there are some who think jd deserves to be also lol...

He has accomplished as much, honestly.

To the six so far who voted NO after I just voted, you have got to be kidding me. Birky deserves to go in whenever they have the next vote whether he's retired or not. My God, his accomplishments in our favorite sport here are as good as any driver to have ever raced, and in the fifty plus years I've watched DLM racing he's more than won his share of big races and been highly competitive in so many more. There should be no debate of his eligibility!

JD will definitely be in the HOF. He accomplished more in one season than a few current HOF members accomplished in their entire careers.

Notice none of the 'no' voters have commented? That's not surprising.

Davenport has accomplished more than Birkhofer so no doubt that Davenport will be in as well.
