I thought wally was dead? if so how could he comment?

My only worry is they are gonna cheese it out, Right now there is a select crowd that is involved in drag racing, the mainstream public could care less about it, already with the airing of driving force, your starting to see a rockstar effect , im worried with the new media exposure it will get, that it will lose its cool, and these guys will be household names, which is good for the drivers, but ultimatly bad for the die hard fans, look at nascar. I hope that with the new backing it will get better and not worse!
