In Street Stock, even though there were just three cars, the James Wall win was a real highlight of the day. Before the days of ALH James was a dominant force in street stock. He moved up to midwest modified and then to WISSOTA Modified.
Along the way his and wife Kim’s sons Cody and Brad became involved in the ALH racing family. Sadly Brad lost his life earlier this year and James decided to campaign Brad’s newly built street stock along with his modified.
On this day he piloted the 25 RIP machine to wins in both the heat and feature races. Rod Wolfe in the 8 and his dad Dave in the 4 car followed Wall across the finish line in both races. Wall is from Winkler and the Wolfe’s from Morden. It was an emotional victory celebration.
