Greetings, all - 11-1-20
It is with deep regret I must inform you all that the 2021 convention slated for January 1-2 is cancelled
due to the ongoing COVID-19.
I can honestly say that we worked tirelessly in trying to make this happen. With the restrictions in place that the Crowne Plaza must abide by, we were left with no other choice as it would greatly impact the way we hold the convention.
I appreciate everyone’s constructive input as well. It was well received.
Let me add, though, that we may be down but we’re not out.
With the approval and support of our sponsors, we are still going to hold the respective contests and present awards, as well as vote on the Hall of Fame nominees.
We feel that the 2020 race season cannot go unrewarded as far as what our organization represents. It is unfortunate that some areas did not get on track as much as others, but there was still enough racing throughout the imperfect season to rightfully warrant making awards presentations.
As of now, and dependent on the virus situation, we are looking into holding a proper gathering at a yet-to-be-named site for the presentation to the honorees in early 2021.
Writers, please continue to submit your entries.
As for the photographers, contest chairman Bob Yurko is finalizing the details to hold an online event.
We will be sending out an email shortly on the nominees to vote on for the Hall of Fame, Northeast and National Driver of the Year, John Blewett II Young Gun, and Writer and Photographer of the Year.
Also, please remember in order to vote and be eligible for the contests you must have your 2021 dues paid. Remember, we have the option of renewing on the Speedway Illustrated website and you will receive a free subscription for the year. Here’s the link, or go to speedwayillustrated.com, click on ‘press’ then the membership renewal is the second option listed. https://store.speedwayillustrated.com/products/spring-2019-cc-racer?_pos=1&_sid=0e8271cfd&_ss=r
Lots more info will be on the way.
Please feel free to call or email me with any questions 570-401-8168 dlmo@ptd.net.
Peace and out,
Dino
