When dedicated, veteran, highly motivated and skilled drag racers start to question the validity of attending the U.S. Nationals something is fundamentally wrong with the sanctioning body.
Shame on the National Hot Rod Association, Wally Parks is rolling in his grave. Last edited by Frank Castros; 08-04-2021 at 01:38 PM. |

Ummmmm hey Frank, Wally hand-picked the people who succeeded him. Maybe he should have been looking at Racers instead of business men.

Billy,
Do you think he would be happy about the demoralized core group of racers and the current state of affairs? I respectfully and seriously doubt it. Frank |

Frank, I absolutely agree! Everybody makes mistakes but when people like you and I make mistakes it doesn't affect so many people.

Wally Parks died 15 years ago at 94 years of age. I don't know how active or lucid he was the last few years of his life but I met him once in the late seventies or early eighties and I asked him if Super Stock and Stock Eliminators would still have a future being that Modified Eliminator got the kibosh and Pro Gas was in it's infancy soon to become S/G and he looked me in the eye and told me that the N.H.R.A was built on innovation and Stock bodied cars that Detroit's big three produced and as far as he was concerned it would always be that way. I believed him. The current leadership has no clue and are living off of his coattails.
