Sad to hear the passing of yet another good guy!

I always remember Hank for when Atco Dragway used to be IHRA and they had the Summernationals one year (Maybe 1985 or 86 if I remember correctly). My Father broke a Transmission in Qualifying and we started the hunt for a spare Transmission all around the pits. We were gone for about an hour or so and we came back to the car and Shirley and Hank had the Transmission already pulled out of the car and laying on the ground. We had come back with the spare and in shear amazement and Hank looked at my Dad and was like "What are you waiting for, let's get this Transmission in".

RIP Hank
