George unfortunately passed away shortly after the Hall-of-Fame Banquet after a battle with cancer. Tickets are still available to this years Hall of Fame Banquet, but time is running out fast to get your tickets. Among this years inductees are Dick Watson, Bob Polverari, Booker T. Jones, Stub Fadden and Bobby Judkins. Ticket order forms and more information on the Feburary 2nd Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies is available on the NEAR Web Site at www.near1.com . This is an event any vintage racing fan would not want to miss as many of the drivers of the past attend the induction banquet and it is a good time to get the autographs of the many former drivers in attendance.
