Thanks for passing that news along Bill. Such sad news...Dale was a racer that became one of my heroes as I read all about him in drag magazines back in the old pro comp days. Later, from the stands at Maple Grove, I got to watch him dominate all those Hemi cars with that small block FED. Then, in the late 80s and into the 90s, I got to race against him at many events. Dale was a true mechanical mastermind, a fierce competitor and one heck of a nice guy. A hero.

You knew when Dale made a run.  Great sounding high rpm runs. I would see him run at Connecticut drag way and New England drag way.  RIP Dale thanks for the memories
