Former ANDRA national director and Hall of Fame inductee Dennis Syrmis has passed away, aged 71, following a long illness.
Dennis will be remembered for the positive impact he had on the sport of championship drag racing, as a racer, administrator and track manager.
He was a tenacious champion of drag racing, both as a racer and administrator but his most satisfying achievements were as track manager of Willowbank Raceway.
Dennis was national director of the Australian National Drag Racing Association from 1974 until 1983 when he resigned to take up the position of manager of Willowbank Raceway. He stepped down as Willowbank manager in 2002 due to ill health.
ANDRA wishes to express its sincere condolences to Dennis’ family and many friends in the drag racing community.
