If Wally was alive and lucid what would he think of all this?

It's a shame to see what's happening to all of Wally's work.
So sad....

In the beginning Wally did great things for dragracing. But I believe in the end He was right there with them. He is the one that put these people in charge and enjoyed a very nice pay check himself.

Dude,

You are probably correct that Wally sold out at the end but I bet he still believed in what he created unlike Tom Compton who has no emotional attachment to drag racing.

He and Barb would take their checks and cash them!

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?
