Their dedication and innovative ideas such as: organizing the gas stops to encourage safety, developing a standardized scoring system, pictures in the rule book of all riders who achieve top honors, and a record of the circuit history, were all unique to this circuit. Because of Roy's and Lynett's efforts, Texas Enduros now operate on a standardized basis and riders are recognized statewide, as well as nationally, for their accomplishments. Roy served as TSCEC chairman for the first 19 years with Lynett providing the needed support to keep things going. In 1992 Roy "passed the baton" for responsibility of the circuit to Stan Simpson of San Antonio. At the 1992 organizational meeting the TSCEC executive committee gave Stan the title of TSCEC president and Roy the title of chairman emeritus.

Roy and Lynett are both TSCEC hall of fame members based on their qualifying accomplishments as outstanding Enduro riders. Lynett retired from active riding in 1977. For the 20 years from 1973 through the 1992/93 season Roy missed only five circuit Enduros due to an illness in 1989. Roy retired at the end of the 1992/93 season.

On one occasion, at a particularly hot August Enduro where Marvin was working at a mileage reset, he greeted the tired and weary riders with cold slices of "life saving" watermelon. Marvin also served as the "official" Master of Ceremonies at the annual awards banquet for several years offering insight and humor to the proceedings.

The rule for honorary membership into the Hall of Fame says that a person must have "significantly contributed to the success and folklore of the TSCEC". For all who have known him through the years, Marvin certainly meets this requirement.

Prior to moving to Texas, Stan was a AA rider from the midwest. He won Overall A at three AMA Nationals and competed in eight International Six Day Enduros winning gold medals in two events. He serves as a member of the AMA advisory board for off-road use of the national forests, is a member of the AMA Off-Road Congress, and still likes to ride off-road motorcycles whenever possible.

Shirley maintained a Track and Trail Sport Riders membership for over twenty years and later became a member of the Post Enduro Association. She also served three years as AMA District Off-road representative.

His induction into the Hall of Fame, however, is not based on his riding skills, but instead for his continued support of TSCEC. In Mike's capacity as sales representative for Tucker-Rocky Distributing, Mike has been responsible for ongoing contingency awards for the riders working hand in hand with past president, Stan Simpson, and the current officers in TSCEC. Mike devised and originated a manufacturer's contingency program for the 2002 season that saw TSCEC riders eligible for over $20,000.00 in contingency dollars. Throughout his years of support, he has been responsible for the contribution of complete riding outfits for the overall winners, merchandise for the auction, and other awards. He has always worked to make the awards presentation a memorable event.

Mike has served as Competition Chairman of the Lubbock Trail Riders for many years guiding the club to several "Best Enduro" awards. His other accomplishments are numerous, his help to upcoming riders is legendary, but mostly, Mike has promoted the fun of riding Enduros.

When the TSCEC Board decided to hold the Annual Banquet on a non-race weekend, Bruce dedicated many hours to insure its success. He helped his wife, Fredna with decorations, served as Master of Ceremonies, and was also one of the auctioneers at the Gear Auction. His wit always drew a laugh and a higher bid from the bidders.

Fredna was well known for the beautiful and unique decorations that she produced for the Awards Banquets for seventeen years. In 1997 when the banquet was held on Valentine's Day, she even arranged for a red rose to be given to each lady in attendance. For a number of years she was also instrumental in producing and publishing the Banquet Program.

Will produced the Rockne enduro from 1980 through 1989 and since 1991 has assisted the Sidewinders with their enduro. He served various TSCEC offices during his career including: Legislative Committee 1982 - 1984, Circuit Referee 1987 - 1988, and Executive Vice President 1993 - 2002.

George raced flat track in the sixties and early seventies before migrating to enduros. He was a member of the Lubbock Trail Riders, Post Enduro Association and later the West Texas Boondockers. George was known as a selfless rider, one who would often sacrifice a race to help an injured rider or clear a bottleneck. He mentored many young riders teaching them the intricacies of successful enduro competition while enduring their jokes and picking up the tab for gas. He competed in the Baja 1000 finishing second place in the Over 40 class and still enjoys annual trips to the desert where he serves as the ride organizer and trail leader for his friends.

George was instrumental in the expansion of racing opportunities as he helped with the formation of the High Plain Enduro circuit. He revived the Mile High Enduro in Cloudcroft and worked as an advocate for the riders, intervening on our behalf with the National Forest Service. His work in the forest opened old trails that were restricted to off roaders. George also pioneered the Silverton 350 trail ride in Colorado and used his Colorado ties to facilitate the co-sanctioning of many TSCEC events with RMEC, BJEC. and SERA. George founded Honda of Lubbock in 1962 and operated it until 1996 when sold the business to pursue a real estate development career. He remains the face of motorcycle riding in West Texas and a devout advocate for all motorcyclists.

Vernon was your typical dirt bike rider back in the early 80's, doing motocross but not really enjoying the short rides. Then he discovered 100 mile Texas enduros. Now this was more like it! After learning to keep time, he combined excellent riding skills and physical fitness to win his "A" class two times and various Short Course classes a total of sixteen times during his 24 year racing career in the Texas circuit. He was also a member of several winning Challenge Teams.

During a difficult time for the Circuit in 1992, Vernon volunteered to assist the new president as Secretary/Treasurer to handle the finances and points-keeping duties. He performed those tasks so well that the Circuit kept him at it for fourteen years! Under three different presidents! Much of this work is not apparent to the membership but those score boards posted at every event and those first-class trophies, jackets, and other awards are testament to his relentless management of the multitude of details that the circuit must handle every day.

Vernon has been a key figure in the production of the Sidewinder's Enduro since 1989 and continues in that role today. He has volunteered as a Trail-Maintainer in Colorado every year since 1992, and is a regular participant in the Colorado 500 Charity Ride.

Archie has been involved in motorcycle racing for many years. He served as a section leader and checkpoint captain for enduros hosted by the Ft. Worth Trailblazers. He later became a member of the Red River Dirt Riders where he served as President and often held other offices. He accomplished all this while serving our circuit as Sabine Chairman for the past ten years and working with the Red Bull organization on the Last Man Standing events.

In true Archie style, he conceived and has been the driving force for our prestigious Stephen Griner Memorial Sportsmanship Award. He has introduced many riders to our sport and there are few people in the dirt bike community that don't know and respect Archie. The mere mention of his name turns heads and brings smiles to faces.

Wherever Archie goes he takes the same commitment to excellence in all the jobs he accepts. His dedication has always been to doing right by the rider. Riders know that when they discuss issues with Archie, they will get a straight forward and thoughtful response from someone that knows the sport of off road motorcycles. Our circuit is truly blessed to have Archie as a board member, fellow competitor, and friend.

Roy and Lynette Pool recognized her dedication early on, requesting her assistance on many occasions, for various projects. Nothing was too much to ask, and she became instrumental in most all aspects of Circuit affairs. For the most special and lasting of those projects, the Pools entrusted her with all the records, correspondence, and other materials documenting the history of the formation of the TSCEC. She spent literally countless hours, over many months, sorting through a jumbled mess of boxes full of hundreds of letters, newspaper articles, event flyers, and much other memorabilia, finally emerging with a priceless scrapbook containing a coherent, chronological account of the inception of the TSCEC, from a mere concept to a functioning entity. The scrapbook was completed just in time for the circuit banquet hosted by the Trailblazers, at Thurber, in 1980.

For 14 years, 1981-1995, Karla was editor of Endo News, a monthly publication covering off-road motorcycling in Texas and surrounding states, mostly geared toward the TSCEC, containing flyers, results, and race reports. In those days, no computer was involved, so many hours were required of her each month to type copy, make-up ads, and paste-up the artwork to get it "camera-ready" to take to the printer, followed by more hours spent addressing and mailing several hundred copies.

During all of these years, she was also an integral part of the Trailblazers, involved in virtually every way possible. She was a fixture at gas stops at TSCEC events, serving as pit crew not only for many of the Trailblazers, but for anyone/everyone else who needed assistance. When it came time for the Trailblazers to put on their TSCEC event, whether at Thurber or Jimmy Jack, she was there from day one, from actually trimming/marking trail, to running sign-in, to working tiebreaker checkpoints, to scoring. Over the years, numerous bleary-eyed late arrivals at Thurber stumbled into the old building in the wee hours of the morning to find Karla at the sign-in table, open all night, ready to sign them in so they could avoid the "rush" later on.

Karla served as Circuit Scoring Chairman for 5 seasons, 1990-1995. With the invaluable assistance of her lovely daughter Kaci, and the volunteers from the host clubs, her system often had all the cards scored and posted mere minutes after the last rider finished. Again, no computer involved, so in addition to scoring/posting at the event, she took all the score cards home in order to compile results for Overall placement in the "A", "B", and "C" classes, then forwarded that info to the Circuit Chairman so that it could be posted at the next event.

Somehow, in amongst all that, she was able to serve as pit crew, nurse, nutritionist, and much more, for a husband and a son, simultaneously, on their journey through Hall of Fame careers. It is only fitting that she join them there.
