The 61st Annual Banquet at Classics V, 2425 Niagara Falls Blvd.,
Amherst, NY 14228 is on Saturday, January 31, 2009. Details will be forthcoming. FOAR SCORE 60th Annual Banquet at
Classics V 2008 FOAR SCORE Hall of Fame inductees from left: Ron Williams, Ron Martin (Miserantino), Pete Bicknell, Rick Wylie with Dean Layfield's nephew John Layfield accepting the award for his late uncle. The Board has voted to initiate a new annual award this
year called “Families in Racing”. The
award is envisioned as an opportunity for the Club to recognize
and honor some of the families that have contributed so much to
our local racing history both as competitors and spokespersons for
the sport. This idea had been suggested some time ago and it
seemed like our 60th year was a great time to kick it
off. In addition to an award presented to the family at the
banquet the winner’s family name will be also be added to a
Families in Racing trophy, which will be perpetual like the Hall
of Fame trophy has been. As we display it at banquets and
special events in the future it will serve as a continuing
reminder of the families’ recognition for their dedication
and contributions to the sport in the area. I think we all
know of several family surnames that would be deserving of this
recognition, having had a continued presence in the sport over
several decades where the love of racing has been passed from
generation to generation and shared with anyone who might ask for
assistance. We will be soliciting your nominations for this
award each year in the future as we do with all our other
specialty awards. The selection for this year’s
award was based on nominations from your Board members, who
ultimately selected two winners for the inaugural award this
year. I am proud to announce that the first two families to
be placed on the Families in Racing trophy will be the Pangrazio
and Wylie families.
