I attended the Flemington Speedway Historical Society (FSHS) Tas Awards (Sunday) held at the Elks Club across from the former site of the speedway.
FSHS Treasurer Sandy Bate addresses the crowd at the 2024 Tas Awards
Great event - This year's event honored Fritz Epright, Mike Grbac, Joe Hall, and Dick Havens.
In addition to the awards presentations, and the acceptance by the Honorees, and/or the Honoree's Family, the event was a nice gathering of fans, former competitors, and others who will always have a special place in their heart for Flemington Speedway.
Excellent job by officers and board members of FSHS in coordinating the event, including all of the work leading up to it, and all that is needed on the day of the show. Great atmosphere - Great food, and lots of pictures & memorabilia on display, with movies featuring some of the racing action playing before and after the awards presentations.
I got to say hello to quite a few "3Wider's" at the event - mostly folks that don't like to create posts, but said they check in everyday!
If you weren't able to attend this year's event, please consider being a part of next year's event, along with all of the other FSHS activities throughout the year. All you need is a fondness for Flemington Speedway, and you'll fit right in!
Great job by all....., and for those who attended, but don't post, let me say on their behalf, thank you for another great day made available by the dedicated members of FSHS, and those who are commited to keeping the memories alive.
