• Merv Wade
• Roy Chapple
• Vicky Horner
• Friends and family of Lynne Davies and Natalie Elliott
• Eric Schellenberger
• Bill Chowen
• Ron Procop
• Harry Kerr
• Ken and Joyce Taylor and Robert Taylor

“All of these people loved the sport and had a lasting impact, especially here in Clinton,” said track general manager Ian Fleming. “We take a lot of pride in being able to honour these people and thank their friends and family for helping making a day like this possible.”

Fans are also reminded there will be a chicken barbecue following the races and tickets will be available for just $10. For more information, visit clintonraceway.com.
