Talking Wally #4, NHRA King of the Track

Saturday was a good day! It was the final points race of the year at Redding. I won both the Sportsman race and the King of the Track race. This is my first King of the Track Wally!

The King of the Track race is held at each NHRA track. The top two people in points at the end of the season, in each class are paired up and run for the Wally (and a really cool hat! ). This means that two people from Sportsman, two from Pro, two from Motorcycle, and two from Super Pro, are in the race. I have been in the finals for the King of the Track race before, but have never been able to win against the Super Pro cars. The Super Pro class allows the use of electronics, such as delay boxes, throttle stops, etc. Also remember this is the best two of each of the classes that you are running against.

This makes Wally number 4 for me, and my second gold Wally.

The pickup was running very consistent, and the new owners of the Redding track had it prepped very well. The King of the Track race was finished just before the Street Drags started, so there were lots of fans in the stands. It was amazing how many people were cheering for the diesel pickup to win! As far as I know, no other diesel pickup has won a King of the Track race.

At this time the plans are to run points in both NHRA division 6 & 7, as well as making as many NHRDA races as possible. It will all depend on how the track schedules work out. I am pretty much racing every weekend during race season (April through Oct), though I will start testing again in Jan.
