FAN CLUB’S OWN -- EILEEN VONHATTEN

INDUCTED INTO GIR HALL OF FAME

Eileen receiving her Hall of Fame plaque from Bret Kepner on Sunday, June 2, 2008. Since this is the first installment of inductees for the Hall of Fame we believe the selection committee started looking at the time frame when the track first opened as the St. Louis International Raceway. Eileen has been making sure that all winners in all classes received credit where credit is due not only with the BoC, but in her articles in Trackside, our E-Mail Blast, radio, and way back in the days of her Victory Lane radio shows. We are proud of Eileen and when you see her, give her a big Thumbs Up for this and for all she does for the St. Louis Auto Racing Fan Club.
