I believe it was in 1969 I won B Stock or it could have been C at the Winternationals in Amarillo TX. I am getting old and my memory is not as good as it used to be. I do remember the final was with a Hemi GTX and it was a very close race. Neither of us could tell who took the stripe and it was the same way all the way down the track.
Then a class win was about a 2 ft tall trophy provided by the track I believe. I still have it. I will have to get it out and look at it closer.

there were Oscar's, and I'm honored to have one of them in my collection, from the '81 Div V ET Finals. Larry, I'd ask Danny Gracia about that? If he doesn't have the answer, he should know who does???

NHRA started giving Wallys out at points races in 1985 or 1986.
