Wally's Steakhouse

"Pretty soon though, a number of other restaurants – let’s call them Pete and Kyle’s, Jared’s, Franklin’s, Kyle’s – okay so maybe we were supposed to change the names – opened up."

Re: Wally's Steakhouse

True story. I just want to race, and I want to get eat now after reading that article...:D

Re: Wally's Steakhouse

Didn't "the bank" just pull back some of Wally's 'loans'?

Re: Wally's Steakhouse

Good article , Johnny.

I don't mean to sound negative here, and not give credit to where it's due, but this is an
unusual year . I know a couple of guys who went to the C/R event because they hadn't raced much this year. If there were a full assortment of NHRA events in Div. 1 this year, it's hard to say how well an independent race would do, sandwiched in between them.
I believe the lure of the Wally is still very real and still out there.

Wally is rolling in his grave.

It's been 2 weeks since the .90 Nationals the amount of e-mails and facebook messages I got from people that loved it is outstanding to the point I want to do another one in 2021. I think you give Ken & Tim a year to work on it along with myself and that event may just become the new "Flings" for the sportsman racers.

For anyone not familiar with how Wally started his “steakhouse” they really need to tour the museum in Pomona. Not withstanding his differences with two of my heroes (Big and Mad Dog) we all owe him a big debt.

Re: Wally's Steakhouse

No mention of Wally's sanctioned insurance?
