WJ Chosen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice honor for WJ,going to be inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. Imagine,still racing,drawing Social Security and being eligible to be inducted because he meets the age 62 rule. I wonder how many can say
that?

My question was how did he get elected for the hall if he was still racing. But that got answered. Thank you.

There's a stipulation in the rules of the HOF that waive the waiting period of five years retirement if the honoree is age 62 or more.

After all the years and his all contributions to P/S, and drag racing in general, I applaud the HOF for selecting WJ. I also thank Norm Froscher for his lobbying for the inclusion of WJ in the HOF.

WJ may not be at the top of his game right now, but he is still a winner. And, the best thing is, he is still have fun doing it. How many old farts can say that?

He's so good because he was born on July 7th, that's all.

Congrats WJ!

I don't think there are many people as deserving of this honor as WJ. An absolutely brilliant man that knows how to apply his vast wealth of knowledge.
