Brian Hamel Obituary, Death – With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Good to Go Racing community bids farewell to a remarkable member and cherished family member, Brian Hamel. Brian’s passing leaves an irreplaceable void in our racing family, a void that can only be matched by the legacy of talent, dedication, and hard work he leaves behind. Brian Hamel was a man of extraordinary skill and dedication, a true maestro when it came to operating heavy equipment. While he excelled in every piece of machinery he touched, it was on a grader where his talents truly shone. He had an innate ability to transform rugged terrain into smooth, race-ready tracks. Brian’s finesse with the grader was a testament to his innate talent and the knowledge he acquired from the best teacher of all – his father, Ed Hamel, who is, regrettably, no longer with us.
The Hamel legacy is one that will forever be intertwined with the East 40 Motorplex. From day one, both Brian and his father, Ed, dedicated their hearts and souls to constructing and nurturing this racing haven.

They were the driving force behind its evolution into what it is today, a testament to their passion for racing and their deep-rooted connection to the community.
Brian Hamel’s dedication to the East 40 Motorplex was nothing short of exemplary. Over its nine years of existence, he never missed a single event. He devoted his entire weekends and the days leading up to each event to ensure that everything was in perfect order. From meticulously preparing the dirt lanes to ensuring the tractor pullers had the best possible track, Brian left no stone unturned in his quest for perfection. His attention to detail and tireless efforts were instrumental in making each event a resounding success.
But Brian’s contributions extended far beyond his technical expertise. He was a beloved member of the Good to Go Racing family, known not only for his skills but also for his warm heart and unwavering support. He brought people together, fostering a sense of unity and camaraderie that defined the racing community. His infectious enthusiasm and friendly demeanor made him a cherished figure in the paddocks and the pits alike.
