It really hurts to hear that we lost a great lady. She always made me feel welcome when I came to the races and I will never forget her kind words and feelings when I lost my Dad. She will truely be missed. God bless you Hank and family. She was so very special.

All the racers coming to Piedmont, maybe we can do some type of tribute.

I think a tribute would be great. Maybe we could all get together and come up with something cool to do in her memory.

Good idea!!! If anyone has Hank's address, please post it, I'd like to send him a card. I'll try finding it myself in the mean time.

Shirley was one of my drag race Moms. I remember her talking with my Mom many hours in our motorhome, and all the fun that she was as the banquets! I know many of the "younger" racers know Shirley only as the Tech Official. I remember her as the racer's wife; hanging out the passenger side of the Super Rod Camaro as Hank hurried to the staging lanes for "round robin". I will definitely miss her.
