God Speed Wally & Barbara Both. Now they can Rest together, peacefully.

Seems not so long ago that my mom was their secretary in Toluca Lake, California and I got the privilage of working with them (for them) for a couple of summers as a teenager.

Very gracious and kind people that lived their dream beyond anything either could imagine possible.

Hopefully, the legacy of NHRA will remain true to their vision.

God Bless and Good By Wally You left a Real Legacy in the NHRA

God Bless and Good By Wally You left a Real Legacy in the NHRA for all to enjoy.

It is up to us the racers to prevent the NHRA from going the way of Nascar so we can continue to race cars instead of pocketbooks. Where the innovator can still showcase the new ideas and the home built on a budget cars have a place to race safely.

Well now my Dad has another of the guys from the old days to bench race with up there.
