Re: Passing of a legend--Wally Parks

Wow!! Seems like just a short time ago, that my wife and I would go to Genos resturant in Burbank, on Wednesday nights, and Wally and Barbara would be there. He said it was their favorite place.

Now Barbara and Wally are gone, and so is Genos.

RIP Wally



Jay

Re: Passing of a legend--Wally Parks

That is quite sudden, i only heard from Steve a couple hours before that Wally wasn't doing well. May he rest in peace.

I really enjoyed the times i've met Wally , he was still pretty sharp and in good humor even just a couple years ago. I'm sure the NHRA has had an obituary ready for the past 20 years or more, Wally lived a pretty long life and we should all be so lucky. I had hoped he'd make the CHRR though.

Thanks for everything.

I was shocked when I got the news last night, and I am still in a bit of shock. It's a sad day in drag racing today.

RIP Wally.

Re: Passing of a legend--Wally Parks

God bless Wally Parks. He's now with Barbara in Gods hands.

I'm sure he will be organizing drag racing in heaven, he has the best starter and some of the best drivers waiting for him. What a line up that will be.
