The meeting is open to the public although we would like to know ahead of time that you wish to attend. Food is available for purchase if you wish to come early and have supper. Meetings are generally held on the first Wednesday of the month in April, May, June, September, and October with our Induction Ceremony/Dinner on the first Sunday in November. The April meeting is closed to the public.
Rules for attending any of our meetings are that you are an observer only unless you have been placed on the agenda prior to the meeting and that confidentiality is a must and can not be violated.
The ballots will be tallied prior to the June meeting to select the Class of 2026. These individuals will be formally inducted on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at the annual Induction Ceremony in Mt. Pleasant. Details to follow at a later date. Once all the 2026 inductees have been notified of their selection, a formal announcement will be released.
Our museum at the Corrigan Oil Speedway is coming along nicely and is a work in progress although we now have a Roadster style Midget on display thanks to Mike Stuart. This race car has been driven by many MMSHoF Inductees along with some other prominent names in open wheel racing. We intend to have it open during race day events in 2026.
Our display at the Birch Run Speedway and Event Center is open whenever the Gas Alley Bar and Grille is open. Andy Suski, with the help of Past Inductee Dana Wiltse and Gus Englehardt and staff have installed the largest display of racing die cast cars I have ever seen. It stretches from one end of the Bar and Grille to the other and is at least 6 rows high and covered in glass. Birch Run has also invited the Hall of Fame to increase our display area as well. This too is a work in progress as we sift through our artifacts.
While we are grateful to have the partnership with these two race tracks, we also need to be able to provide materials and artifacts for display. We are in need of those items that our past inductees might be willing to loan to the Hall of Fame for display. Uniforms, pictures, trophies, helmets, race car parts, and the like will be perfect for display. If interested please contact the President of the Hall, Dave DeHem.
