Wally Parks, 23 January
1913 - 28 September 2007 Celebration of Life Tributes
"Many people have asked when
the NHRA will hold a Tribute to our father. We are in the planning
stages right now and we want
to do it so that as many people can come as possible. A short tribute
will be held at the California
Hot Rod Reunion (CHRR) at the Auto Club of Southern California
Raceway, in Famoso (north of
Bakersfield), California on
October 12-14, 2007.
NHRA
will have a special trackside ceremony
honoring our father on Sunday, November 4, prior
A full Celebration of Life
will be held in conjunction
with the CARQUEST Auto Parts Winternationals, in Pomona, California
in
February of 2008.
Final details haven't been worked out as of yet. The public is
invited, but due
to the uncertainty of the
weather, please check with the National Dragster or the NHRA website at
www.NHRA.com.
Other groups have mentioned holding tributes and as I hear of them I will
pass
the news on. Our family
thanks you for your concern and condolences. Richard and David Parks"
