I had a couple drinks with Steve Evans at the Somerset Marriott during the 1980(?) Summernationals and I told him that I was concerned about the future of Stock and Super Stock because Super Gas was becoming so popular and there where rumors sportsman racing was headed in that direction.
His reply was "Wally Parks will not let that happen because he knows that Stock and Super Stock are the true grassroots of NHRA drag racing".
I believed him to be sincere and felt pretty good about Wally parks after that conversation.

Does Tom Compton have any idea about the heritage of this sport?
