Jeez, just yesterday, we brought you the sad news that "Dyno Don" Nicholson had headed off to that great dragstrip in the sky, and now Big Rick just clued us in to the fact that Barbara Parks has passed away. Actively involved with the NHRA from its beginning, but always remaining somewhat of a behind-the-scenes player in the operation, Barbara and Wally were married for over 40 years. She was 82. Damn, what a sad week for drag racing. Our condolences to the Parks family.
