NOTICE!  October 10th, 2008.
Famous Victoria auto racer Dave Cooper is being inducted into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.  He is a VERY deserving person to join the many historic athletes in this organization.  He was one of the first members inducted into the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame in 1984.  The ceremony is being held at the Save-On Memorial Arena on Saturday, October 18th beginning at 6:00 PM.  Admission is $75 which includes a buffet dinner, 2 cocktails plus the Induction Ceremonies, a big screen Multi-Media show, the opportunity to meet with famous Olympians and see the unveiling of new Hall of Fame displays to be added to the many items currently located on permanent display at the Arena.  In addition to Dave Cooper, there are seven other Inductions occurring covering various other sports.  Tickets are available at 250-721-4048 (Jeevan Dillan) or 250-389-0223 (Pat Hall).  Let them know you are ordering in support of Dave Cooper so seating can be organized with other racing folks in attendance.
Hope to see you there!  ROSS ROCKETT

HI RACERS!  HERE'S A PHOTO OF HARRY GANT, LARRY POLLARD AND I IN THE HALL OF FAME MUSEUM.  I'M SHOWING THEM SOME VINTAGE PICTURES AT THIS TIME.  THEY SPENT ABOUT 20 MINUTES IN THE MUSEUM PRIOR TO HARRY HAVING TO GO OUT UNDER THE GRANDSTANDS AND SIGN AUTOGRAPHS BEFORE THE START OF THE CANADA 200 RACING EVENT.  HARRY IS A VERY NICE INDIVIDUAL.  TRULY GREAT TO HAVE A SUPER STAR FROM THE NASCAR'S PAST HISTORY.  ROSS

Pictures of the coupe at Langley Speedway Sept 7th 2008. Actually got to drive it 3 laps. Just to hear the quick change gears whine  was a thrill. Old guys are not supposed to have this much fun. (Ralph Monhay)
