HALL OF FAME |
Lead | |
|
While compiling and organizing the names for the printed version of the Slot Car Hall of Fame, I have come to the realization that I cannot make it just for
old timers of our hobby. So, I have seperated it into two sections.... The "First 20 Years" and "Since the 80's". I have had so many
requests to add names of modern day pioneers who have made great contributions to our hobby since 1980 that I noticed the list was getting larger from those
since the re-birth. I really think it is important for every important slot racer to be on this list. Especially since this book will be around long after you
and I are gone. I'll let someone else do the "final chapter" for important slot racers from 2020 and beyond.... That is my planned year of
retirement.... Hoping I'll make it there. I have a little blog that I started many years ago that is a place for me to put down my thoughts (assuming I
have any) on the day to day operation of the magazine and it is also where I am keeping the working list for the HOF. Please go there and help with this name
compilation so I can get this book printed for posterity.....jf http://www.scaleautoracing.com/slotblog/

John we have both been at this a very long time. In the Hall of Fame, don't forget one John Ford that belongs there!

I haven't put my name in the hat yet. More important to not forget those who helped make our hobby great than I who have only enjoyed watching their
greatness...My true joy will come when I see the second edition of this book in print. I say second because there is no way I'll be able to get everyone in
the first edition, and after it is printed, everyone will let me know who is missing.... jf

Bob Braverman, Ben Millspaugh, Jose Rodriguez, Bob Schleicher, Jim Russell, Ron Klein. All pioneers back in the 60's and 70's as racers, designers and
authors. All were, and some are still, big promoters of the hobby. Tom
