Normally our Hall of Fame committee gets together once a month to discuss new inductees. But, since this is the holiday season, all but two of the guys were able to make it to a Christmas potluck lunch. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you from The Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame Museum.

GEARHEAD'S DELIGHT: SPORTSMAN DRAG RACING VIDEO FROM THE 1970S | Competition Plus

Drag racing in the 1970s was a much simpler life. And when it came to sportsman drag racing, the options were limited on the national event scene. Take for instance, in the NHRA there was only one heads-up eliminator. Every other class, from Stock to Competition Eliminator had regulations from class...

It is with extreme sadness that we announce that Hall of Fame member Jerry Baltes passed away this morning. Jerry was inducted in 2002 for being a pioneer in the sport as builder and driver. In 1955 Jerry took home the NHRA Championship in the Altered category. In 1962 Jerry moved up to top fuel dragsters setting several track records and the NHRA speed record. In 1964 he won the World Series of Drag Racing in Cordova, and finished number 2 in NHRA points. That same year he became the PR Director for Drag News. In 1967 Jerry quit racing after an accident . He remained active in the sport and in 1972 he would form a funny car team with Tom Woodbride called the "Tom & Jerry Funny Car team. More importantly Jerry was a very strong supporter of the IDRHoF as the Trophy Sponsor for several years.

What an amazing day with over 200 people attending the Kentucky Motorsports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. We would like to thank all of you that took the time to come and celebrate the accomplishments of these dedicated sportsmen. Without you we would not be where we are today. Since 2008 when we had our first induction ceremony, it has been our goal to give recognition to these extraordinary men and women in the racing industry. Thank you again to the City of Central City, Kentucky and to the Central City Tourism Commission for all that you do to help us achieve our goal. To all of our committee members, thank you for your time and dedication. With the many nominees that you have to review, picking out just 8 each year can not be an easy job.
