  • Talked to one of MN Dragways and North Star legends last weekend

    Got a chance to talk with Walt Schumaker on Sunday. Now in his 80's he was a tough guy to beat in bracket 2 racing at any track. He is a pretty cool guy and does not race anymore. When I asked what he did with his old Stoveblot Chevy, Walt now plans to put it back on the street.

    Great racer and great guy to talk with.
