Loss of WDCR Member Dale Ferril

Dale finally lost his battle with Cancer this morning.    

 Dale has been a fixture in the Region at since the early 80s, if not longer. His many awards, or at least the ones we can find, include:

Novice flagger of the year in 1984, recipient of 110% awards in F&C, including the Trial Blazer Award in 1986 & 1989. Flagman of the year in 1985 & 2007. He was a founding member of the Bald Flaggers of America and, more recently, the Pit Worker of the year for 2022. He served a brief stint as the DC Region Flag Chief and was the Asst Flag Chief for Numerous PCA Race Weekends at Summit Point.

Dale was also a decent driver with numerous Win and Place awards from the MARRS Series. 

 He also served as the World Karting Assn. National Road Race Starter for 4 years, and more recently, he has been at Summit Point as a Flagger and Jack of all Trades. 

 We’ll grab our flags and go back out on station because that’s what he would have wanted. 

Please stay tuned as we wait for more information on arrangements. We do know there will be a Celebration of Life come Spring.
