🏁 **Life Member Induction – Dean Shore** 🏁
Tonight was a very special night for the Boulder Speedway Association and Kalgoorlie International Speedway, as we proudly inducted our newest Life Member:
**Mr Dean Shore**
Life Membership is the highest honour our club can present. It is not simply about the number of years someone has been involved, or how many seasons they have been around the place. It is about dedication, commitment, loyalty, hard work, and the lasting impact someone leaves on the club.
Dean is one of those people whose name has become part of the fabric of Kalgoorlie Speedway.
His involvement with the club goes back to the mid-1990s, where he started racing and very quickly became well known around the track — sometimes for his racing, sometimes for hitting the wall, the fence, and on the odd occasion giving the ambulance crew something to keep an eye on. 😂
Over the years Dean has competed in a number of divisions and has always given everything 100%. Whether it was racing, working on the car late into the night, trying to make it to the track on time, or giving everyone a story to tell afterwards, Dean has always been all-in.
But Dean’s contribution goes much further than what he has done behind the wheel.
Across many years, Dean has worn just about every hat possible within the club. He has served as President, Vice President, Machine Examiner, Track Inspector, Race Director, fire crew, helped with push cars, worked around the pits and dummy grid, maintained equipment, helped around the grounds, and taken on countless jobs that many people never see.
He has been there through the long nights, the working bees, the wet tracks, the dry tracks, the breakdowns, the pressure, the phone calls, the meetings, the problem solving, and the moments where the club simply needed someone to step up.
Dean has done that time and time again.
He has helped build, shape and carry this club forward. His passion for Kalgoorlie International Speedway is obvious to anyone who has spent time around him. Whether things are going well, or whether everything seems to be falling apart around us, Dean has always had the best interests of the club at heart.
He has been a steady hand, a strong voice, a worker, a competitor, a leader, and a true club person.
Life Membership is reserved for people who have made a lasting difference, and Dean has certainly done that. His contribution has helped make Kalgoorlie International Speedway what it is today, and his legacy will continue to be felt for many years to come.
On behalf of the Boulder Speedway Association, our members past and present, competitors, volunteers, officials, sponsors and supporters — thank you Dean for your outstanding service to our great club.
Please join us in congratulating **Dean Shore**, our newest Life Member of Kalgoorlie International Speedway. 🏁
