That is sad to hear. I only had the opportunity to talk with him once or twice when they did the hood and decklid for my car. He was great to deal with.



Prayers for his family

Sorry to hear that. The few times I talked to him he seemed like a really good guy.

WS Racing will continue in business despite Walt's passing. His son Carl will continue to run the business and race their Dart.

Talked to Walt many times on the phone and met him when I picked up the glass front-end for my Duster.
Didn't know him very well but seemed like a pretty good guy.

He had a white rabbit that someone dumped.. I don't know if he adopted it or the rabbit adopted Walt but it was very friendly. Tried to give it to me but I've already got enough critters.

God Bless and rest in peace Walt

Our sincere thoughts go out to Walts family and friends.Curt and I raced with Jr. at Salem(Quaker City) years ago and all my glass on my 65 came from Walt.

I bought a few things off of Walt for my old green Duster and he was alway nice to me.
