Congratulations to Bruce Gezon, the PVGP Rallyemaster, upon his election to the SCCA Hall of Fame! Bruce becomes the first SCCA Hall of Famer to have predominantly built his SCCA legacy in road rally. Gezon, who is still competing at 80 years of age, and has won more SCCA championships than any other member, credited with 43 National Championships between 1968 and 2020. Gezon’s SCCA record includes the most US Road Rally Championship wins, a record 15-consecutive wins in National Rallies, the 1974 National Class A Championship with a perfect 50 points with 11 different rally partners (driving in six events and navigating in 5), and being a member of the five-car Ford Rally team from 1969-1970, winning the Manufacturers’ Championship for Ford. Behind the scenes, Gezon is Points Keeper and also co-editor of the SCCA RoadRally rule book and has served as Rally Master of National Rallies for three different SCCA Regions and Rally Master of Divisional Rallies for five different Regions, spanning more than 50 years. Check out the list of Hall of Fame members, Bruce is in very good company – Congratulations Bruce from your PVGP Family!

Five individuals compose the 2021 Sports Car Club of America Hall of Fame class named today, recognizing their significant contributions to the Club’s history and the world of motorsports, and adding their names to a timeless list of motorsports superstars: Tom Campbell, John Fergus, R. Bruce Gezon, Lloyd Loring and Donna Mae Mims will officially join the SCCA Hall of Fame during a virtual induction on January 23, 2021 — the opening day of the 2021 SCCA Virtual Convention. An in-person induction ceremony is being planned for the SCCA National Championship Runoffs at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Incidentally, another 2021 Hall of Fame inductee, Donna Mae Mims, was a longtime PVGP volunteer and a very colorful (pink) personality. See YouTube link.
