2004 Goodguys VRA funny
car champ Randy Walls qualified 7th with a 6.920 at 202.74
and improved to a 6.82, losing to Mike Savage in the first
round. Walls changed to the required two-speed trans at
the Finals last season and he's just about finished with
his new, lighter chassis, hoping to have it ready for the
Goodguys Nitro Nostalgia Drags at Sonoma in April. (top
