DragRaceCanada offers it's sincere congratulations to Alberta's Geoff Goodwin -- the latest drag racer to be inducted into the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame.

Geoff will receive his much deserved recognition this coming weekend (Feb. 23rd) during the gala 15th Annual Canadian Motorports Hall of Fame banquet in Toronto.

Goodwin, who lives in Red Deer, AB has had vast activity within the sport of drag racing most of his life. After racing gas-powered dragsters and altereds early in his career, he did in fact campaign nitro-powered Funny Cars during the mid to late 1970s, fielding the familiar UAP-sponsored Chevrolet AA/FCs driven by Bob Papernick and Bill Spevacek between 1976 and 1981. After taking a hiatus from racing he remerged on the drag racing scene in 1997 with a General Motors-sponsored Alcohol Funny Car driven by Terry Capp.

Currently he is the driving force behind the formidable Renegade Racing Chevrolet Alcohol Funny Car effort, a Can-Am racing team which features Montana's Ken Kraus as it's driver.

The CMHOF has played a very important role in paying honor to top achievements in Motorsports for Canada - inducting more then 125 members since being established in 1993.
