NHRA Wally trophy Mike. Atlanta Dragway is having a special race and offering the Wally and a  purse for winners in each class including bikes. Pops had it right. Sure would be something if Samauto won that race.

DRAGRACER [ MOTORCYCLE ] : Tell these folks what and why the award is called a WALLY = THEY MUST NEVER WATCH TV ON SUNDAY NHRA to see the winners handed a WALLY [ WALLY PARKS ] for the final win !!!!!!  NHRA could care less about motorcycles but it is the only game with 1320' of race track to have our sport live one more day..........  DRINK A BEER ??????   Water, Milk, Sweet Tea or Pop is my drink of choice.

I'm fortunate enough to have two NHRA Wally Trophies in my collection. One of them was won on my Honda 750F and the other on my Harley street bike. I'm not an NHRA fan either Pops but i would like to add a third one if i can. I really want an IHRA Ironman but i've been chasing that little sucker for over 15 years now to no avail.

Rule of thumb in the Sam Greening Racing team division of Loney Motorsports, if you are in the pit area with us, you will have to earn your keep. Even if it does mean holding a parking spot with your chair-lol.

Need a tow man so Jim/Bill, get ready to man the scooter.

They ran 1/8 mile ???  on this long flat 1320' track ????   What a waste of track ....... I have seen them say at my track we are going to run 1/8 mile today to speed up the event and every rider blast clear to the end and could have had a 1/4 mile run = bull #$%*........... same amount time for a run 1/8 or 1/4 mile !!!!!!.  NHRA is losing the counts and now they are taking away the MPH and quick ET's.  Next thing you know they will be running 330' for a race = could 60' racing be next ???

POPS BK911     1/4 MILE RACER or I stay home, save my money, and WATCH NASCAR they use the whole TRACK and sides.
