So sorry to hear this, Dennis and Betty along with my Dad (Robert) were very instrumental in getting me involved with drag racing at the young age of 15.One thing for sure he loved that "Old Wrecker" and that Ford drag car more than any other vehicles.Prayers to the family from the entire Goolsby family
