Seems like more of a list of Regional guys than National guys. If your stats include 19th or 30th as your most successful National season, that isn't very impressive.

Copp is the only National guy on the list. Knepper and Fornoro had plenty of success, but it wasn't National Midget Success.

It doesn't mean these guys were not good racers. Just not National guys. Don't dilute it down to accept less than the very best.

The National Hall of Fame should be the best of the best. If there isn't enough guys, maybe you don't take 8 every year. (Like Baseball)

National guys have/had success in many regions of the US. National wins and Championships. Marquee events, big money races, etc. They didn't just win races in their local area. Or beat the National guys just in their local area.

Tracy Hines would have been a good addition for this year. With credentials that surpass anyone on this list. Maybe Dave Steele or Bryan Clauson as well.

Just my opinion of course.
