Re: The passing of Hank Blankenship
Very sad. The IHRA wont be the same without Hank. He was always great to deal with and very kind. I will miss him.

Re: The passing of Hank Blankenship
This IS very SAD news.
I always felt that Hank was an original. A true car guy who loved what he did. He seemed to be as excited for someone when they set a record as they were. And I will never forget the handshake and smile when he handed you the contingency forms, you sure felt that he meant the congratulations from the bottom of his heart. He leaves some very tough shoes to fill at IHRA. Godspeed good friend, I am grateful to have crossed your path. Venice Perno SS/CS 3041 |

Re: The passing of Hank Blankenship
Hank was a large part of the "friendlyness" of IHRA. He will certainly be missed by us all.
