Thanks to Wally and his wife for their hard work and dedication to the Sport of Drag Racing. He lived a long life and got to see his dream become a major motor sport and entertainment. You will be missed by the racers and the Sport. Thank you

I guess when you look at the enormity of the sport, it says it all about the man. He fought the good battle and is now resting.
