Chasing the Wally
One of the Wally's is very special to my Son & I.
My Dad had passed away on that Thursday, May 2011.
He was very close to me & my Son.
We used to all travel to the big MoPar shows, Ohio, Las Vegas ETC.
This was before my Son was old enough to drive.
My Dad had always supported & traveled with me when I raced.
So when my Son started racing, he always expected my Son to call him to tell how he did, no matter what time we got home.
My Dad had passed & we wasn't going to race on that Saturday, but my Mom told us, "you know what your Dad would want you to do".
Love my Mom.
We went ahead & raced, also we had forgotten it was a Wally race.
Well, the Son won the Wally & all the racers knew that we had lost a Dad & Grand Dad that week.
They all lined up on the return road and gave him a hi-five as he came down the return road.
His Mother & I were in tears.
So, I'll always remember that Wally, that my Dad helped my Son win.
