Shirley will truly be missed! Condolences to Hank & Family.
Good idea with the tribute at Piedmont in her memory! |

Re: Thoughts and Prayers to the Blankenship Family (loss of Mrs Shirley Blankenship)
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.

Re: Thoughts and Prayers to the Blankenship Family (loss of Mrs Shirley Blankenship)
Just a thought @ indy points meet they had an extra time run for everyone $10 for the run, the money went to Bob Hessers family. They announced that they had raised $12.500.00 for his family. I know from personal experience that funerals are very expensive. Again just a thought. Joe

IHRA events won't be the same without Shirley. We always looked forward to talking with her. She was a great person.

Re: Thoughts and Prayers to the Blankenship Family (loss of Mrs Shirley Blankenship)
We have all lost a super nice lady. No matter what it was Shirley would help the racers. When I won Mooresville in 2005 she gave me my winners pack and her and Hank were so nice to me. I hate this for Hank because he lost his best friend. My prayers are with their family. Mike
