Unfortunately I am here to report sad news. Joe Henslee has passed away due to an aggressive form of cancer. He was diagnosed about a month ago. Joe was a long time member of ETR, former RE and board member, and had worked for Appalachian Race Tire part time after retiring from Boeing.
Joe was a big help to me, helping with paddock and grid at the inaugural Pine Mountain Hillclimb and also helped me with various car related things. He was a wealth of knowledge when it came to race cars.
At this time no services have been planned. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Re: Joe Henslee
That's really sad to hear.
I'm a long time ETR member myself at this point, and Joe was a long-time member at the point when I started. He has done a lot for our racing community.

Joe was a great guy. Condolences to his family and extended family of friends. I don't really have the words. Cancer sucks

Re: Joe Henslee
I barely knew him, really (unfortunately). But he saw a post here where I needed something (can't recall what) and reached out to try to help. That tells me he will surely be missed.

Re: Joe Henslee
Joe was an awesome storyteller. Great to hang out with talk racing,car setup,and custom fabrication. An awesome friend who would always make you feel like family. It wasn’t a good idea to get him going on politics though . I will miss him and remember him often. Hope to go to the memorial and race gathering and hang out and here some memories.
Re: Joe Henslee
Joe's sister is friends of ours and had no idea for a while. I got to know him a little ( not nearly well enough ) and we spent a few hours together trying to mount A7s on the Corvette wheels. SUPER nice guy with a huge knowledge base that I can only hope we all have that when we're older.
His garage was awesome with a bunch of cool racecars in various states of rebuild. I offered many times to come over to help, but he was a very detailed and particular guy
Didn't know about his cancer, but he had heart issues last year or so.
