They're not all one piece or mounted solid, so the tire may rotate left or right.

It's molded that way solid as a rock. I just thought it was odd. They may have went to a different trophy company.

I got a little Wally for winning Class at the Keystone Nationals, but I was the only car in the class, so it doesn't mean much. The Bracket Finals, Divisional, and National Wallys mean something.

The only ones you will find on display anywhere in my house would be the National, Divisional and Championship ones. They are in the office pretty much out of site these days. I do have "others" that are in a box in the attic. IMO I agree and they give way to many of them for other races to include opens of which I have a few. Feel free to flame away.

I'm proud and cherish the many I have and the accomplishment it took to achieve them. I was very outspoken when they starting "normalizing" them as a trophy but as normal, others always know best.

IMO Trophies should be "special" and a show of a special achievement.

People use to line up for miles to get Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. When you started to be able to get them at C-Stores and Grocery Stores the "coolness" wore off. To many ways to get them!

Those Krispy Cream lines disappeared first of the year when they moved to a cumbersome box and raised the price $2.00 a dozen Mad

we have "several" , and yes , they have to be dusted all the time .. I'd hate to think how much each one cost ..LOL ..but no, we would never sell one ..they are "priceless" because they all remind me of the time spent with my son , thats the most important thing to me as I get older ... just glad that I was there when he won each one .. and hope he can win some more while I around ..

I rest my case, and yes you red that correct a Wally for a slot car race. And you wonder why people buy them on ebay Smile

I have good Wallys and not so good Wallys, but it is the accomplishment that assigns the significance of the trophy rather than the shape of it.

Pictured is an actual Class Winner Wally for a Lucas Oil race in 2009. Somebody donated it I guess and they "re-gifted" it at the slot car race. NOT an example of the NHRA actually awarding a Wally for a slot car race.

I can read, and I get that. Apparently any attempt at humor on the interwebs falls on deaf ears. Note the smiley face and reference to them selling on ebay Big Grin
