ORMHOF ON THE ROAD
ORMHOF Partner Menzies Motorsports Wins the World Cup at Crandon, 2017 Hall of Fame Inductee Cliff Flannery's Field of Dreams
They call it The Big House, and Bryce Menzies was certainly the man of the house, sweeping all three races on Sunday, including the Crandon World Cup.
L-R: ORMHOF Inductee and Crandon PR guru Marty Fiolka, ORMHOF Chairman Mark McMillin, Crandon International Raceway President and 2017 Hall of Fame Inductee Cliff Flannery, in the historic Crandon Barn.
The entire town of Crandon came out for a surprise party to honor Cliff Flannery and his induction into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. Here guests are looking at the Hall of Fame display, with the names and photos of the 83 current inductees.
Race week kicks off with a parade down Crandon's main street.
The Crandon Barn is filled with 48 years of memories, including this hood, painted in memory of Cliff's brother, Jack, who was Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009.
Saturday morning's rain made for racing conditions somewhere between a mud bog and a demolition derby.
More than 40,000 fans came out for Sunday's clear skies and trucks flying high at Crandon.
