Too bad but he lived a long life.  Just think of all the changes he saw in racing.

No, it's not bullshit, dude! It's really for real!
It's all about cars. Wally Park is a great place to put lots of cars, while anxious travelers make their flights. It's for real, not bullshit! Here's a pic for you ...

My parents were just in Denver to watch the Jaguars defeat the legwhipping, chop blocking Denver Broncos actually.   Well that guy at least lived an exciting life (driving hotrods haha) and he did it for 94 years, which is a long ass time to live.   I can't feel sorry for someone who got to live so long.  My dad has a friend that rebuilds classic hotrods and takes them to shows all over the US.

You're funny more often that not, just not this time. He founded the largest Motorsport Sanctioning Body in the world.

The NHRA has more membes and registered racers than anyone else.
