I would like to find out how many people would like to get Bill Fales into APBA's Hall of Fame. When he won the first of three consecutive 1100CCR National Championships in 1967, he did it against all odds. F racing runabout was considered a west coast class, and the first time they have a mid-country national, an east coast racer whips the west coast butts. Not to rest on his laurels, he comes back with a bigger and better Quincy looper and a new DeSilva runabout and beets them again. And to add more, he does it again the following year. He would have made it four in a row, but after breaking his back in five places just 12 weeks earlier trying to break the NRA Kilo record, he is charged with gun jumping the 2nd heet (actually Doug B. jumped). He did set the world record in kilo, going back and forth with non other than a great racer himself, Rich Fuchelin. Retiring from racing for a little while came back with his two sons and went on to win Two-person Nationals in Kansas. He was elected into the Gulf Hall of Fame, but never the APBA. He was Pro-VP for a number of years. So help me get him into the Hall. I thank you all in advance.
