SOME THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE HALL OF FAME REPRESENTS
4th ANNUAL GO KART HALL OF FAME GALA AND INDUCTION CEREMONY 2027
SOME THOUGHTS ON WHAT THE HALL OF FAME REPRESENTS
It's ALL ABOUT THE EMOTIONS YOU LOOK INTO THERE EYES, AND YOU KNOW IT IS A SPECIAL MOMENT
Being inducted into a Hall of Fame is a special achievement for any person, whether their field is racing, ball sports, business, or entertainment. A Hall of Fame member is recognized as one of the best and brightest of their industry.
Sometimes people are unhappy about who is inducted and who is passed over and that's a healthy debate and I can assure you that each is always a tough vote. So many deserving people, and so few spots. Every voter wants to cast an honest, objective vote, and it is very difficult when you are forced to narrow your selection, scratching off deserving names.
It becomes kind of like that famous motto of Chicago Cub's fans " Wait till next year." If you haven't attended such a gathering, I urge you to do so. If you love the sport of karting, you'll be moved and thrilled during the induction ceremony at the hall of fame, regardless of the affiliation. I've been lucky enough to see many dramatic and exciting things during my career, great races, thrilling finishes, stirring comebacks, confrontations, on and on.
Standing there with the inductee's in front of the audience is an incredible thrill. As they search for words during their acceptance my mind races and I can picture in my mind years earlier, when that person was at the hay day of his career.
Most of the time, inductee's have a bit of gray hair, and a few wrinkles. Most have mellowed a little bit, but it's still easy to spot their greatness in their confident walk, their piercing eyes, and their firm handshake. These guys were and still are my hero's, and I am sometimes so excited to be a part of their induction I'm at loss for words. Maybe they'll begin talking about a special car owner or a driver, They might recall funny stories, and weather it is tears or laughter, the audience is sharing the moment right along with you.
You can feel their energy, their love for the hall of fame and everything it stands for. Whether it is racing, writing, wrenching, or simply watching.
Going to the Hall of Fame is a great moment, and I congratulate all those going into the Go Kart hall of fame this year.
