Richard Walls began racing in 1983 in a Chevy Malibu Station Wagon.   He earned the hard luck award that first year, but it taught him a lot about what it takes to be a racecar driver. Over the next few years, Richard won several races each year, but it wasn't until his pairing with Jake Bulger, that Richard was able to vault to the top of his class.  The team of Walls and Bulger would dominate the Road Runner division in their immaculately detailed Ford Thunderbird for three years before Richard would get another ride.  Richard would fund his own operation for the next few years before Richard would once again pair with Bulger to pilot his new Late Model Sportsman. Richard is once again funding his own team, and has enjoyed great success despite being desperately underfunded.  In 2008, Richard plans to race a full schedule at Hagerstown in the LMS division, and run selected shows in the 358 diivision when time and funding allows.
