hello all, this is my first post to the board. been reading it for a couple of years, but never felt i had anything worthwhile to add until now.
given usac's long history with american motorsports, the first class shouldn't be limited to 5 or 10 people. 50 plus years leaves a lot of catching up to do. there's a lot of people now gone that belong as well as those now retired from active competition to choose from. after the first class, limit the inductees to 12 per year, 5 drivers, 5 owner/mechanics and 2 "other"(press,media,promoters etc.).
as to where to locate the hall, indy is the only choice, but not the speedway. how about at the fairgrounds mile? plenty of history there, and a have the hall at a track to boot. if you want a stand alone site, is the 16th st stadium still there? that would be a good use if it is.
as to who should go first, i agree with almost all the names mentioned, but noted one not mentioned. lonestar jr, johnny rutheford should go in, too.
