I don't believe he has been recognized by CBF. But not positive. CBF welcomes anyone to submit names of people to be recognized at the CBF level and in it's Hall of Fame. I believe you just need to write a simple 1 page/bio (minimum) on the person and it is reviewed by the board. They do not have to be current CBF members (I'm not sure if even ever had to be). The submitter does not have to be a CBF member.

Dave, Alex's tale is a fascinating story and life lived, thanks for the slight glimpse.
No doubt in the early years he was aptly called Crazy, certainly by racing establishment. After piling up successes the label likely changed to 'eccentric' with the respect he deserves.
Further thoughts:
I ask whether CBF( what's left of it) has ever recognized his world class acheivements? Enlightening is an understatement to spend and afternoon with him, understand more about his motivation, path, successes & failures. TORC/CBF have several awards, future 'outstanding contribution to racing' seems reasonable.
Shame he is distant from TO, he would be a brilliant guest speaker at TORC club meeting, merit special occasion.
I'd bet we could arrange a road trip to Ottawa with many participants if he were open to hosting an afternoon.
Hmm....
