I just emailed a public nomination form for Rex McCroskey to you. I believe he raced Dirt Late Models for 20+ years. I know he was a 3 time MLRA Points Champion but as far as wins I am guessing he won around 800 features and won around 20 Track Championships. Here is some pictures of Rex’s cars and visits to victory lane.

I would like to nominate Berthold Robidoux,better known to all in the racing world,as BERT TRANSMISSIONS.He is the one that started it all,(the manufacture of the racing type internal clutch transmission)95% of the dirt late model racers have used this type of unit at one time or another.
He should be in the category of a contributor,and is well deserved.
