Reposting criteria for this page's hall of fame listings. Each season a list is formed based on the following:

Working a new project to create my list of drivers for my hall of fame. Driver that were actively racing prior to 2000, my first 25 seasons. This is not a popularity contest like how some tracks do it. It is based on top 10 in points, feature wins and general display of good sportsmanship which means there are no negative notes found in my racing journal .
