Thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for the congratulations!
It's still amazing to me that Sherrie and I got inducted into the HoF for doing what we like to do. In any case, it was a pretty outstanding weekend - saw a lot of old friends, made some new ones, ate WAY too much good food, and neither of us screwed up our speeches.
And, as Froggy said, thanks to all of you who made this happen!

Congratulations to Sherrie and Dave!
Hopefully the trip to Vegas enhanced the racing budget!Despite having to walk through the casino areas at least 25 times, we didn't do any gambling. It's not something that excites us...Awesome, so well deserved and just plain makes me smile.
Now that's creative thinking!
We did gamble away our last spare $7 when we drove through Las Vegas on the way back on our 3-week honeymoon trip (7000 miles in a TR4 in 1967).

Congrats on the HOF, and as an aside I might say that 7000 miles in a TR4 back in 1967 was a probably a bigger gamble than any wager one could make in Vegas...We did gamble away our last spare $7 when we drove through Las Vegas on the way back on our 3-week honeymoon trip (7000 miles in a TR4 in 1967).

By the time of that trip, I had corrected numerous issues, and that trip was trouble-free.

Darn it to Heck... just imagine if you'd won.......We did gamble away our last spare $7 when we drove through Las Vegas on the way back on our 3-week honeymoon trip (7000 miles in a TR4 in 1967).
"... And now, in car 67, it's a newwwww traaaaack recorrrrd...!"
(please, never say "The 67," I beg of you)
Congrats again to You and Crew!
Ours was 25 days in a Datsun 210 Hatchback -- packed to the ceiling, but only 6,800 miles.
So far as reliability, our current secret in an '84 Westy is to park. Which of course would have made for a more-proper honeymoon.
From SSCA:
Dave and Sherrie Weitzenhof
Dave Weitzenhof’s record over more than 50 years of SCCA road racing demonstrates his skill as both a driver and technician. Overall, he has seven SCCA National Championships and was presented with the Road Racing Drivers’ Club Mark Donohue Award in 1972, as well as the 1977 SCCA President’s Cup trophy. But as Dave himself admits, none of that would’ve been possible without the help of his wife, Sherrie Weitzenhof, who has been by his side and an instrumental part of the “team” throughout half a century of racing. The fact that Sherrie is officially recognized as a “Friend of the Road Racing Drivers’ Club” proves that point. Furthermore, Sherrie supported the SCCA NeOhio Region by organizing many events, including the successful and long running Competition Clinic, and she chaired the NeOhio Hall of Fame committee.
To his credit, Dave earned four SCCA Runoffs wins in the highly competitive Formula Ford class, as well as a pair of Formula Continental Runoffs victories and a Formula Vee SCCA National Championship. Beyond that, he has won far too many SCCA races to count. Outside the car, Dave was an accomplished engineer with Bridgestone/Firestone and has numerous patents to his name. Throughout his involvement in SCCA racing, Dave openly shared insights on car setup and vehicle dynamics, as well as his tire expertise with fellow racers. Some of that know-how was deployed while serving as a test driver for development of the Sports Renault program, which evolved to become Spec Racer Ford -- one of SCCA’s most popular car classes in road racing.

If you are connected to a resort wifi in Steamboat Springs it may take 3 hours to load... just saying.
Congratulations Sherrie and Dave. There has never been a more deserving "TEAM"
Best Regards,
Jeremy
As I posted previously, thanks, everyone, for the congratulations.
