I'm am sorry to report that my dad Gilbert Foxworth has passed away from complications with his cancer. My dad had been involved in racing from way back at local drag strips right up through Go-Karts, the FASTRUCK series and most recently was back working on dirt Late Model cars at Eastbay. He was well liked by all and one hell of a smart mechanic. Although he never wanted to drive, his work helped make several drivers look pretty damn good. He will be severely missed. Wanted to post his arrangements since many people have been asking.

Immediately following we will travel to the Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Fl for his Military burial. He was a Vietnam veteran that received a Purple Heart & Bronze Star for his actions. He was shot in the line of duty in his leg. While headed back to the infirmary for help he came across a severely injured soldier and picked him up and carried him back for help as well.
