I am a little surprised that this seems to have been missed. As it is the last day of 2011 it seems fitting to recognize two fine gentlemen who are a pleasure to be around at any time.
Here are the brief facts which outlined their induction on November 5th 2011.
Fred & George Estabrooks – Inducted Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame November 5, 2011
Fred’s track experience came in 1965 driving a 55 Chev in Scoudouc, NB and Maitland, NS. George got the racing bug at age 9 when his Dad bought him a gasoline engine, for his birthday, that had powered a washing machine and he and Fred built a go cart. They were innovators back when the roads weren’t plowed, they put skis on the front wheels of a model A and duel paddles on the rear, the brothers could then travel from the outskirts into the bustle of downtown Sackville. Their school days were spent at the Sackville High School in the automotive and welding shops. Fred and George soon became regular fixtures on the local race circuit. Their 55 Pontiac set the B/MP and C/MP records at Maitland Raceway and won the points series championship at Scoudouc Dragway. George finished 10th in the 2011 ADRA Super Pro Points. He has won many of the high buck races as well.
CONGTATULATIONS CAN'T THINK OF TWO NICER GUYS TO BE RECOGNIZED THIS WAY. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU BOTH AT A TRACK IN 2012.
