The British Drag Racing Hall of Fame was established in 2006 to recognise significant contributions and achievements in the sport of Drag Racing in Britain. The Panel of Selectors consists of club and track officials, promoters, former racers, journalists and enthusiasts, all long associated with the sport. The Panel convenes annually to nominate candidates for induction into the Hall of Fame. Nominees are inducted at a Gala Dinner usually held in November, but in special circumstances may be inducted at race events or on other occasions if deemed appropriate. Inductees receive a commemorative trophy known as a ‘Bootsie’ – a crystal tablet containing an image of the late Allan ‘Bootsie’ Herridge, a racer and engineer of great distinction from the sport’s earliest days – and an exclusive gold, enamelled membership badge.

Eligibility for induction into the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame is extended to any individual or group of individuals who have driven, ridden, owned, designed, built, maintained, prepared, promoted, officiated, supported or taken part in any capacity connected with British Drag Racing, and to organisations which have played a notable and distinguished role in the sport. Inductees shall have been retired from the sport for at least three years or have been engaged at the highest level for at least 20 years, or otherwise be recognised for their significant contribution. Inductees are characterised by mastery of their particular fields and by the courage to innovate.
