With many thanks to Reece and Marcel Facoory
The Bruce Drinkrow Memorial Speedway Hall of Fame was formed as an Incorporated Society of New Zealand in 2003. It has a Constitution and consists of 15 Executive members. The driving force behind the Hall of Fame is Reece Facoory who after a two year effort, set up rules and constitution and made it all happen.
The purpose of the NZ Hall of Fame is to recognise people, whether they be competitors, officials, race car owners, club stalwarts, people who may have won World Championships, to people who have given their life time of service to our sport at club level.
Each year nominations are sought from Clubs and Individuals from all over New Zealand (anyone can make a nomination)
From the 15 Executive members, five members each year are selected to be the judging panel. The five judges do not know who the other Judges on the panel are, thus preventing block voting.
The nominees are judged on categories:
—-Achievement in the Sport
—-Contribution to better the Sport
—-Length of service /continued involvement in the sport
—-Acted as an ambassador to the Sport
