Any photos or other materials to tell about it is welcome too.
We have a nice evening program planned for the banquet. We'll have a toast to Walt Mahony. His photography continues to help us re-live the great history of racing at Ascot and other tracks, and he had some other notable ventures in his life, including being one of the founders of Ascot Park, and he kept the Trackmaster frame business going for a time.
Our annual Hall of Fame induction ceremony will again honor some individuals with great motorcycling histories. This year we honor Larry Bergquist, Jim Connolly, Lori Conway, Larry Huffman, Walt Mahony, Stu Morley, Buddy Stubbs and Tom White.
And our most prestigious honor, the Dick Hammer Award, will be given to Ed Kretz, Jr. this year. Ed was not only a National TT winner in his racing career, but he and his famous father Ed Senior were successful motorcycle dealers in Southern California. And he and his wife Elaine were also very instrumental in the operations of the Trailblazers, with Ed serving for many years as the club Treasurer.
The Trailblazers M.C. is a sub-committee of the Motorcycle Industry Council.
