Eight individuals have been announced as the Sports Car Club of America’s newest Hall of Fame class, adding their names to a list of timeless superstars. Pete Brock, Dennis Dean, Larry and Linda Dent, Joe Huffaker Sr., Lyn St. James, Phil Hill and Jim Kaser comprise the latest class to join the select ranks.
We’re very excited to see two names from our own publication in that list and would like to give them a big congratulations. Peter Brock is a regular contributor to Classic Motorsports, and Lyn St. James just recently helped us with a story comparing the Trans-Am cars of old to the current field of Trans Am competitors—found in the December issue of our sister magazine, Grassroots Motorsports.
As in years past, this group will be formally inducted to the Hall of Fame as part of the SCCA Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet. That event takes place Saturday, January 21 and serves as the capstone of the three-day SCCA National Convention taking place again in 2017 at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Along with the accomplishments of the 67 previous inductees, these Hall of Fame members positioned the building blocks that have elevated SCCA’s stature in the motorsports world for more than 70 years.
