INDUCTEE 2023 – BUILDER – Don Forth Wetaskiwin and County Sports Hall of Fame
Founding Member of the Wetaskiwin Stock Car Club 1968
Founding Member of Sunset Speedway (now Edmonton International Raceway) 1968
Over 50 years of Volunteering at the Raceway
Coached Youth Bowling for 32 years
Community Volunteer Extraordinaire
From 1968-2023

Actively Involved in Stock Car Racing for 55 Years
Don has been a member of the WSCC since the club’s inception and at one time served as Vice-President. He is the only member of the original club still active and involved at the racetrack. Don was instrumental in the building of the Sunset Speedway. This included creating the clay oval raceway and Don could be seen running equipment and shoveling clay and gravel. On race nights he was the Flagman. Then in 1994 he was involved in the paving of the Sunset Speedway. In 1995 when the WSCC leased the speedway to new management, Don seamlessly transitioned his volunteer efforts to the new group. Sunset Speedway became the Edmonton International Raceway (EIR) in 2001. As an octogenarian, Don still flags at the EIR and he can still be found at the raceway during the week helping with new construction and improvements. He also runs the tow truck, is a repairman, helps with test drives and generally carries out jobs that need to be done. To recognize his over 50 years of contributions to the raceway a section of the EIR Grandstands were named after Don Forth at a ceremony in September 2017. Don was and still is a very indispensable person at the EIR.
