FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NAT'L DIRT LATE MODEL HALL OF FAME INVITES PARTICIPATION
Riverside, OH --- The National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame (NDLMHOF) recently held their third induction ceremony before a large crowd at Florence Speedway in late August and with the conclusion of the festivities the executive board looks forward to assembling the NDLMHOF Class of 2004. With that in mind officials of the NDLMHOF have extended an invitation to the racing community to be a part of the nomination process.
“We are currently assembling a list of potential nominees that will go on the ballot in December that will be sent out to the voting members,” explained Bill Holder, Executive Director of the NDLMHOF. “At our last meeting some of the executive board members felt it was important to get the feedback and input from a cross section of people throughout the dirt Late Model community, whether they are race fans, drivers, promoters, crew members, manufacturers, whatever their designation.”
With that in mind the NDLMHOF is inviting submissions of possible names to be considered for inclusion on the final ballot for selecting the Class of 2004.
“What we would like people to do is if they feel strongly about someone who they feel is deserving to be placed on the nominee list then they should send that person’s name and some background information on their choice in to us,” continued Holder. “Those names who receive the most multiple submissions will be placed in their respective categories.”
The categories that are open for submission include the “Retired Drivers” category, the “Outstanding Contribution to the Sport” category and “The Masters” category, which is reserved for active drivers with a minimum of 30 years racing experience.
Submissions can be sent to Holder via email at: billholder@webtv.net or via mail to: 3811 Berryleaf Court, Riverside, Ohio 45424. A deadline of November 1, 2003 has been set.
The final ballot with nominees will be sent to the 42 member voting board in December with tabulations conducted on January 1. The NDLMHOF Class of 2004 will be announced shortly thereafter.
Holder also announced that in the coming weeks announcements will be made concerning new executive board members, 2004 sponsorship for the NDLMHOF, progress on Phase One of the NDLMHOF Building Project, and a revamped website, among other items.
Official sponsors signed to the NDLMHOF include Arizona Sport Shirts, Hoosier Tire Midwest, DIRT LATE MODEL Magazine, CJ Rayburn Race Cars, Dirt America Online, Fisher Race Engines, Florence Speedway, Dirt-Racers, OnTheEdge Graphics, Mastersbilt Race Cars, Rocket Chassis, GRT Race Cars, and Dirtwearmall.com.
