"Wally" aka "Man and Wheel" Trophy 
Who here has ever won one of these?
Seems the "Wally" trophy isn't modeled after Wally Parks (as I thought)
Jack Jones was so dominant as a Top Gas racer that the current NHRA National-Event winner’s trophy was modeled after him in 1969. In the four years he raced on the NHRA National-Event tour (1967-1970), the San Diego competitor won the 1968 and 1970 U.S. Nationals crowns, the 1969 World Finals, and Hot Rod Magazine championships (two in Junior Fuel and two in Top Gas), and was named to the 1971 Car Craft All-Star Team. The San Diego Hall of Champions is proud to be housing the Wall Parks NHRA winner’s trophy, along with photographs, plaques, and record breaking certificates awarded to Jack Jones.
