2008 Inductees:
Ray
Baker - Engine Builder (Spring Lake)
(b. Aug. 30, 1942) - One of the premier engine builders in
Berlin Raceway history, Ray Baker has built winning engines
for the likes of Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt, Sr, Neil Bonnett,
and Darrell Waltrip. From 1966 to 1994, the founder and former
operator of Baker Engineered Racing Engines supplied engines
for Berlin drivers Bob Senneker, Butch Miller, Fred Campbell,
Mike Eddy, Ed Howe, Tom Maier, John Benson Sr, Randy Sweet,
Bob Sensiba and Don Rand, plus many others.
Dick Carter - Driver (Breckenridge)
(b. Aug. 17, 1934-d. Aug. 14, 1965) - One of the greatest
dirt-track racers of all time in Michigan, Carter began
racing at Berlin
in 1955 and won the 1957 Season Championship by lapping
the entire field of cars in 100 laps. He also won the Spring
Championship
race in '61 and the Tri-State Championship race in '63.
Carter holds the supermodified track record on Berlin's
half-mile
dirt track at 22.16. Carter's outstanding racing career
was cut short on August 14, 1965, when he died in a crash
while
leading the field (after setting fast time, winning the
fast car dash and winning his heat race).
Ed Howe - Driver and Car Builder (Beaverton)
(b. Dec. 9, 1938) - In addition to over 200 feature wins
as a driver, Howe's company, Howe Racing Enterprises
(which he
still owns and operates), revolutionized the Late Model
chassis. He has had drivers in his house car such as
Bob Senneker,
Tom Maier, Mike Eddy, Larry Moore, and Rodney Combs.
