The PHA Hall of Fame

The PHA Hall of Fame was formed in 1999 to honor individuals for their dedication to, and love of, the motorsport of automobile Hill Climbing. Inductees possess a strong moral character and demonstrate the levelheaded, cheerful camaraderie that sets hill climbers apart from most competitors in other motor sports. We look for a strong competitive nature, controlled by a level head and a sportsman-like attitude. The Hall of Fame award is not a long-time service award and, although service indicates commitment to the sport, it is not the only criteria to be considered. Although drivers are the usual nominees, it is not a mandatory requirement. Through induction into the Hall of Fame we seek to honor those people that have left a lasting mark on a sport they have contributed so much too. Without the efforts of the Hall of Fame members PHA and the motorsport of hillclimbing would not be what it is today.

Thank you
