Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame 2024 Induction Ceremony

I was able to spend the evening with some very cool people on Saturday night when the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame inducted its new members in Fredericton, including two of my amazing constituents, stockcar racers Dave O’Blenis of Boundary Creek and Jim MacPherson of Petitcodiac.
